Title

United Nations Centre for Regional Development (UNCRD) - Training, Human Security, Environment, and Disaster Management

Description

Excerpted from the website:

Director's Note

In today's rapidly changing and interdependent world, the type of uncontrolled socio-economic development common in past decades is no longer feasible. Serious environmental and social problems resulting from unrestrained growth must now be addressed and strategies for future development must be reassessed in the light of vital sustainability and human security concerns. Recognizing this fact, the UN has developed a number of important initiatives, principally the UN Millennium Declaration of 2000 (and the resulting Millennium Development Goals, MDGs), and the Plan of Implementation and Declaration on Sustainable Development resulting from the 2002 Johannesburg World Summit on Sustainable Development (WSSD), which laid a solid foundation for all subsequent UN development efforts for the early twenty-first century and clearly indicated the direction which the Centre should take. Thus, UNCRD, in partnership with its parent organization, the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UN/DESA), by ensuring its activities are linked with these UN development initiatives maintains its relevance to the developing countries while demonstrating its complete commitment to the UN's overall development agenda.
