Sustainable development, the basis of the new international development agenda, is a deceptively simple notion that in fact reflects a complex balance struck between different perspectives on the interplay between the environment and economic and social development.
The concept of sustainable development was the brainchild of the Brundtland Commission, set up by the United Nations General Assembly in 1983. The Commission’s report, Our Common Future (1987) defined sustainable development as “development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations t…
In late 1960s and early 1970s the world began to wake up to the importance of environmental issues, shaken from its slumber by new scientific findings, the increased sophistication of civil society movements in some countries and a few high-impact publications.
These included Silent Spring by Rachel Carson (1962), The Population Bomb by Paul Ehrlich (1968) and The Limits to Growth, commissioned by the Club of Rome (1972). Until the early 1970s, international efforts to address environmental issues had targeted specific environmental problems, with scant regard for the interplay between the env…

It brings together UN procurement staff and the vendor community. The United Nations represents a global market of over USD 15 billion annually for all types of products and services.
The UNGM acts as a single window, through which potential suppliers may register with the UN organizations using the UNGM as their vendor database. These organizations account for over 99% of the total UN procurement spent. The UNGM therefore provides an excellent springboard to…

Internal migration is a key component of spatial redistribution of the population, with implications for communities, households and individuals. For communities, migration has demographic, social, cultural and economic impacts. For households and individuals, migration —especially when it is part of a deliberate strategy— is a means to achieve objectives, ranging from coping with an economic crisis to improving quality of life.
Population censuses are the main source of information about migration movements, but in the past were used only for official publications, which tend to be of limited…

The Commission's presence in Brazil dates from October 1952, when it signed a partnership agreement with the National Bank for Economic and Social Development (BNDES) to create a Joint Study Group. The ECLAC-BNDES Economic Development Centre, regarded as the first formal representation of ECLAC in Brazil, was established in September 1960 in Rio de Janeiro. In the late 1960s, BNDES withdrew from the programme and, in 1968, the ECLAC-ILPES Regional Office was set up, also in Rio de Janeiro. The office was relocated to Brasilia in 1978 following an agreement between ECLAC, the Government of Braz…
A presença da CEPAL no Brasil teve início com um acordo de colaboração entre a CEPAL e o BNDES, em outubro de 1952, quando foi criado o Grupo Misto de Estudos CEPAL/BNDES. Em setembro de 1960 foi instalado o Centro de Desenvolvimento Econômico CEPAL/BNDES no Rio de Janeiro, considerado a primeira representação formal da CEPAL no Brasil. Na segunda metade da década de 60 houve desvinculação do programa ao BNDES e, em 1968, foi instalado, ainda no Rio de Janeiro, o Escritório Regional CEPAL/ILPES no Brasil. O Escritório foi transferido para Brasília em 1978, a partir de um acordo entre a CEPAL, …
