Welcome to the United Nations. It's your world.

           ECOSOC Integration Meeting (13 May 2013)

At the UN Conference on Sustainable Development (Rio+20), world leaders acknowledged the vital importance of an inclusive, transparent, strengthened and effective multilateral system to better address the urgent global challenges of sustainable development. In The Future We Want, world leaders also recognized the important role of the Economic and Social Council in achieving a balanced integration of the three dimensions of sustainable development. 

In response, the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) organized a Special Ministerial Meeting on 24 September and the Integration Meeting on 13 May at UN Headquarters in New York.

ECOSOC Integration Meeting (13 May 2013)

The first ever ECOSOC Integration Meeting on "Achieving sustainable development: Integrating the social, economic and environmental dimensions" gathered high-level representatives of Governments, UN system, Major Groups, civil society and the private sector to examine how integration of the economic, social and environmental dimensions of sustainable development can lead to triple-win solutions in the energy and agriculture sectors.

Participants made recommendations for policy convergence and scaling up initiatives for sustainable development. Many Member States praised the meeting and stressed ECOSOC's key role as a platform for dialogue on sustainable development among Governments, UN system, development actors, civil society, academia and the business sector.
