United Nations Economic and Social Council
The Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) of the United Nations, established in 1945 as one of the UN's primary organs, serves as a crucial platform for coordinating global efforts, encouraging dialogue and creating solutions to multi-layered economic, social and environmental challenges. The Council holds a central position in promoting the internationally agreed upon Sustainable Development Goals (SDG).
The ECOSOC features 54 voting member states, including 14 African states, 11 Asian states, 6 Eastern European states, 10 Latin American and Carribbean states and 13 states of Western Europe and other states. As the parent organ for eight functional commissions, five regional commissions, three standing committees, nine expert bodies, and five other bodies, the ECOSOC is dedicated to the pursuit of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals outlined for the 2030 agenda.
