Ahead of the once-in-a-generation Summit of the Future, the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs continues to build on its interdisciplinary strength to evaluate the continuing social and economic impacts of the pandemic, global conflicts and climate change, providing UN Member States and key stakeholder groups with policy recommendations and support for a transformative, sustainable and inclusive recovery that delivers progress toward achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
In August 2024, UN DESA partnered with UN Academic Impact for a two-part series that brought two new, data-driven reports to an academic and youth audience: the "World Population Prospects 2024" and "Sustainable Development Goals Report 2024." These Global Policy Dialogues for the Classroom featured the report authors presenting, in-depth, the major findings of these critical reports, highlighting their relevancy for people working or studying in colleges and universities. These events featured extended time for questions from the audience.
