UNDP

The coming year could be a turning point, accelerating progress towards a more peaceful, prosperous and sustainable future for humanity.

Or it could see geopolitical divides, economic stagnation and gridlock in multilateral cooperation. The path forward depends on choices countries make now: to move beyond differences and refocus on achieving shared goals.

UNDP works in about 170 countries and territories, helping to eradicate poverty, reduce inequalities and exclusion, and build resilience so countries can sustain progress. As the UN’s development agency, UNDP plays a critical role in helping countries achieve the Sustainable Development Goals.

UNDP publications showcase the organisation’s thought leadership and expertise and play a key role in fulfilling our mandate to support the realisation of the SDGs and encourage global development.
