It argues that, in the absence of transformative policies which coherently address the economic, social and environmental dimensions of development, building climate resilience will remain elusive and poverty and inequalities will worsen. The Survey stresses the need to advance understanding about the link between climate change and inequalities.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Who: \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Lenni Montiel, UN Assistant Secretary-General for Economic Development<\/li>\n<li>Diana Alarc\u00f3n, Chief, Development Strategy and Policy Unit, Development Policy and Analysis Division, UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>What:<\/strong>\u00a0 Press briefing on the <strong>World Economic and Social Survey 2016<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For more information on the WESS 2016, please visit the website:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/wess.un.org\/\">https:\/\/wess.un.org\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Hashtag: #WESS2016<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>When:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Monday 3 October, 11:00a.m. EST<\/p>\n<p><strong>Where:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0S-237, UN Headquarters, New York or live through <a href=\"http:\/\/webtv.un.org\">http:\/\/webtv.un.org<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Available for interviews: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Lenni Montiel, UN Assistant Secretary-General for Economic Development<\/li>\n<li>Diana Alarc\u00f3n, Chief, Development Strategy and Policy Unit, Development Policy and Analysis Division, UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Media contact<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>UN Department of Public Information<\/p>\n<p>Dan Shepard, T: +1(212) 963-9495 | E: <a href=\"mailto:shepard@un.org\" target=\"_blank\">shepard@un.org<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Ken Matsueda, T: +1 (917) 367-5418 | E: <a href=\"mailto:matsueda@un.org\" target=\"_blank\">matsueda@un.org<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The World Economic and Social Survey (WESS) 2016 focuses on how vulnerable population groups and communities are disproportionately affected by climate hazards. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":230,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[20,16,4,5270],"tags":[2851,5278,6204],"class_list":["post-20692","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-climate-change","category-economic-growth","category-news","category-press-material","tag-desa","tag-media-advisory","tag-world-economic-and-social-survey"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.un.org\/sustainabledevelopment\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20692","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.un.org\/sustainabledevelopment\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.un.org\/sustainabledevelopment\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.un.org\/sustainabledevelopment\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/230"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.un.org\/sustainabledevelopment\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=20692"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.un.org\/sustainabledevelopment\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20692\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.un.org\/sustainabledevelopment\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20692"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.un.org\/sustainabledevelopment\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=20692"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.un.org\/sustainabledevelopment\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=20692"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
