UN ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL COUNCIL

The Secretary-General spoke this morning to mark the 80th anniversary of the first meeting of the Economic and Social Council, or ECOSOC. He said that for eight full decades, ECOSOC has been an engine of progress. And yet he noted that despite signs of real progress, our world is in a precarious state. He said that today’s intertwined crises demand urgent, collective responses, and ECOSOC can help lead the way.

Mr. Guterres urged Member States to take immediate steps to implement the reforms they committed to in the Pact for the Future, including steps to strengthen ECOSOC’s work as a principal organ for coordination, policy review, policy dialogue, and decisions on economic and social development.

The Secretary-General said that ECOSOC has a vital role to play in our divided and unequal world — and we must waste no time in strengthening it.

DEPUTY SECRETARY-GENERAL

Today, the Deputy Secretary-General, Amina Mohammed was in Paris to take part in a UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) event to mark the International Day of Education.

In her remarks, she underscored the role of young people as co-creators in shaping education. She also highlighted education as one of the most powerful tools to change the world, and emphasized its importance for sustainable development, inclusion, and peace. Ms. Mohammed also stressed the need to prepare young people for a rapidly changing digital future, while addressing both the opportunities and risks of new technologies, and reaffirmed the importance of safe, inclusive learning environments, particularly in contexts of conflict and crisis. The Deputy Secretary-General met with the newly appointed Director-General of the UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, Khaled El-Enany. They discussed strengthened collaboration between the United Nations and UNESCO, as well as priority actions for the post-2030 education agenda, with youth at the center.

She also met with the Chair of the UNESCO Executive Board and a group of Member States. Discussions focused on UNESCO priorities and the UN80 process, including the role of UNESCO within broader United Nations system-wide reform efforts.

She is expected to return to New York this weekend.

ECOSOC at 80: a turning point for multilateralism – UN Chief | United Nations

Source: United Nations (video statements)

Marking the 80th anniversary of the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC), the UN Secretary-General urged Member States to take immediate steps to implement the reforms they committed to in the Pact for the Future.

Speaking at the commemoration of ECOSOC at 80 named “a turning point for multilateralism” today , Guterres said, “let us renew our commitment to safeguarding rights and speeding up development through multilateral cooperation. ECOSOC is an indispensable platform for global dialogue and action.”

ECOSOC President Lok Bahadur Thapa said the Council’s legacy at 80 is simple and more urgent.

He said, “Multilateralism must deliver. Development must be inclusive. And progress must reach everyone. This is the vision and commitment we set forth in the Charter – one that should continue to guide our collective action.”
For her part, President General Assembly Annalena Baerbock reiterated, “Peace, development and human dignity and human rights are inseparable,” adding that delivering on these social and economic goals is therefore “not only a moral imperative for those they are designed to serve. It is also a matter of enlightened self-interest.”

“It is an investment in stability, resilient and security in a world that is too often defined by crisis,” she added.

Established in 1945 by the Charter of the United Nations, ECOSOC held its first meeting on 23 January 1946. Its mandate – to coordinate the economic, social, and cultural activities of the United Nations and promote international cooperation and development – has placed it at the heart of advancing the principles of the UN Charter. Multilateralism, inclusivity, and global solidarity have been central to ECOSOC’s mission from the outset.

Youth, power and possibility, with Felipe Paullier | ASG for Youth Affairs | Awake at Night

Source: United Nations (video statements)

A medical doctor by training, Dr. Felipe Paulier is a passionate advocate for young people. Two years ago, aged just 32, his life took a new turn when he became the first-ever Assistant Secretary-General for Youth Affairs, the youngest senior appointment in the history of the United Nations.

“Leaving young people at the sidelines of how we find solutions is not the way. It’s really bringing them [in], because on many of the things, the solutions will come from them.”

The UN Youth Office believes that positive change is rooted in empowering young people to meaningfully participate in decisions that impact their lives and futures. In this episode, Felipe Paulier reflects on youth demands for peace and opportunity, on the stubborn barriers to change, and shares why he always prescribes reconnecting with nature as a cure for digital overwhelm.
