In September 2015 the United Nations adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, a historic fifteen-year agenda to ensure the end of all forms of poverty, protection of the planet, and prosperity for all. The 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) call for action by all countries to build economic growth, tackle climate change, and address a range of social needs including education, health, social protection and job opportunities, ensuring that no one is left behind. The United Nations employs a variety of subject matter experts who create knowledge products to advance these goals. The products include books, statistical databases, and other digital resources covering key action areas of the Sustainable Development Agenda.

2015 Global Assessment Report on Disaster Risk Reduction
Making Development Sustainable - The Future of Disaster Risk Reduction United Nations International Strategy for Disaster Reduction This publication highlights the connections between disaster risk and development and shows that decades of experience in managing disasters and reducing climate and disaster risk have produced a wealth of knowledge and good practice which can be applied to achieve sustainable development. The reduction of poverty, the improvement of health and education for all, the achievement of sustainable and equitable economic growth and the protection of the health of the planet now depend on the management of disaster risks in the day-to-day decisions of governments, companies, investors, civil society organizations, households and individuals. Strengthened disaster risk reduction is essential to making development sustainable. Making Development Sustainable: The Future of Disaster Risk Management

Transport for Sustainable Development The Case of Inland Transport United Nations This study examines issues, progress and challenges in global efforts to achieve sustainable mobility of freight and people using inland modes of transport. While transport is a precondition for social and economic interactions, it has negative impacts (crashes, pollution and greenhouse gas emissions). The study identifies main challenges and opportunities to accelerate transition to sustainability. It promotes an understanding of the five defining dimensions of sustainable transport - accessibility, affordability, safety, security and environmental performance. It brings theoretical insights and best practices from around the world and maps similarities and differences among countries in their efforts towards sustainability.

The UNECE Convention on Long-range Transboundary Air Pollution, adopted in 1979, is the first international legally binding instrument to address problems of air pollution on a broad regional basis. Initially focused on problems of acidification and eutrophication, it now addresses a wider array of pollutants including ground-level ozone, persistent organic pollutants, heavy metals and, most recently, particulate matter. This Handbook contains the most recent versions of the Convention’s eight protocols as these have been amended and/ or adjusted to maintain their relevance to the work of the Convention and to accommodate new Parties.

Disasters without Borders - Regional Resilience for Sustainable Development United Nations The Asia-Pacific Disaster Report assesses the state of resilience in the region, and disaster-related goals and targets of the Sustainable Development Goals and the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction. It highlights a particularly neglected disaster - the slow onset of drought. It also reviews the fairly neglected area of information management that would equip many countries in providing the right information to the right people at the right time, especially in the aftermath of a disaster, paying particular attention to the need to integrate disaster risk reduction into development planning and frameworks at all levels of government. The goal is to build resilience towards achieving sustainable development in Asia and the Pacific.

Monitoring and Governance of Persistent Organic Pollutants in Asia United Nations University Institute for the Advanced Study of Sustainability A variety of chemical compounds has been released into water from industrial and agricultural activities and urban wastes. Some of those chemicals are harmful to living organisms and are resistant to degradation, thus named persistent organic pollutants (POPs). In efforts to manage chemical pollutants such as POPs in Asia, the United Nations University (UNU) and Shimadzu Corporation established a pilot project in 1996, ‘Environmental Monitoring and Analysis in the East Asian Region’, to aid developing Asian countries with the knowledge and technology to analyse and monitor such pollutants in the environment. This book summarizes some highlights of monitoring results obtained by the project’s activities over 15 years, and reports the present status of the project, touching on the future development of the project by analyzing challenges.

Data Analysis and Policy Implications
Data Analysis and Policy Implications United Nations Myanmar is emerging from isolation as it implements reforms and faces fewer sanctions. The country has great potential for rapid development due to its vast natural resources, abundant labour force and geostrategic location. To assist efforts, ESCAP and OECD conducted a multidimensional policy review of Myanmar with the government. Lack of information on business conditions was found to be an impediment to the development of appropriate polices. A joint business survey with the Myanmar Federation of Chambers of Commerce and Industry was conducted, providing a rich dataset of 3,000 firms in all sectors and regions to help understand the challenges they face. This publication explores the results, in order to develop policies that promote private sector development.

United Nations
Preliminary Overview of the Economies of Latin America and the Caribbean
This publication highlights a regional slowdown in GDP growth. It argues that the currency depreciation seen in several countries in the region could, if sustained, increase incentives for investment in tradeable sectors other than the region’s traditional exports (commodities), while redirecting expenditure to ease pressure on the current account. Growth-supporting industrial, trade, environmental, social and labour policies that take into account the needs of small and medium-sized enterprises, could help lessen the region’s structural heterogeneity. Growth combined with greater equality would thus gain economic and social sustainability, with greater reliance from investment and exports than before. It is argued that this combination would be aided by social covenants for investment. Publication Date: December 2015 ISBN: 9789211218787

United Nations The 2014 edition of Social Panorama of Latin America presents ECLAC measurements for the analysis of income poverty, taking, as well, a multidimensional approach to poverty. Applying these two approaches to data for the countries of the region provides confirmation that despite the progress made over the past decade, structural poverty is still a feature of Latin American society. In order to contribute to a more comprehensive design of public policies aimed at overcoming poverty and socioeconomic inequality, this edition examines recent trends in social spending and sets out a deeper gap analysis focused on three areas: youth and development, gender inequality in the labour market and urban residential segregation.

Rethinking Development Strategies after the Financial Crisis, Volume I Making the Case for Policy Space
United Nations Conference on Trade and Development Recent economic trends and the challenges posed by the global crisis reinforce the importance of implementing strategies for development as opposed to leaving the economy to market forces. Countries need a strategic compass for long-run economic development. This comprises macroeconomic policies, sectoral policies (including financial sector, trade and industrial policies), institution building in key areas and development-friendly global governance. Within a chosen medium- or long-term strategy, governments need more policy space to adjust to the specific (and evolving) social, historical and institutional context. In this volume, issues that all developing countries need to handle are discussed.

Human Development Report 2015 Work for Human Development
United Nations Development Programme This report takes a broad view of the link between work and human development. Work is a critical tool for economic growth and security, poverty reduction and gender equality. It enables full participation in society while affording people a sense of dignity and worth. Humans working together not only increase their material well-being, they also accumulate a wide body of knowledge that serves as the basis for cultures and civilizations. The report finds that work enhances human development when policies are taken to expand productive, remunerative and satisfying work opportunities. Workers’ skills and potentials are enhanced, their well-being in terms of rights, safety and benefits are ensured with targeted interventions, and an agenda incorporating decent work, a new Social Contract and a Global Deal is pursued.

It is jointly produced by the Department of Economic and Social Affairs, the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development and the five United Nations Regional Commissions. Global economic growth is forecast to increase marginally over the next two years at 3.1% in 2015 and 3.3% in 2016, compared with an estimated growth of 2.6 per cent for 2014. An expected US interest rate increase, remaining euro area fragility, a further slowdown in developing economies and several geopolitical conflicts pose major concerns for the global economic outlook today.

Technology and Innovation Report 2015
Fostering Innovation Policies for Industrial Development United Nations Conference on Trade and Development This report focuses on how innovation policies can expressly promote industrial development, and what lessons can be learnt from existing experiences of countries, both developing and developed. It argues that while technology and innovation are an essential component of how industries use knowledge to apply to learning, their role in fostering economic development can only be harnessed if innovation policies are clearly and coherently linked to overall industrial development goals of countries. Basing its analysis on data as well as experiences of countries, the report argues for closer coordination between innovation policies and industrial goals in order to promote technology and innovation for overall economic development.

The Role of Technology and Innovation in Inclusive and Sustainable Industrial Development United Nations Industrial Development Organization This report looks at how technology and innovation achieve inclusive and sustainable industrial development (ISID). Its main finding is that ISID is feasible and technology can simultaneously serve all three dimensions of sustainability, including economic, social and environmental. Rapid inclusive and sustainable industrialization can happen more frequently provided that policymakers firmly steer the industrialization process with opportune policies and avoid past mistakes. In some cases, the spread of technology has not materialized in concrete growth opportunities because of the lack of technological capabilities. Innovation needs to be supported by interventions strengthening the process from invention to adoption. Publication Date: January 2016 ISBN: 9789211064544

Handbook on Measuring Quality of Employment A Statistical Framework United Nations Employment is a key driver of social and economic development. It is also at the centre of most people’s lives and the quality of an individual’s employment is an important element of his or her well-being. At the same time, labour markets are evolving and the conditions of employment are continuously changing, which affects the lives of workers and their households. This development has been accompanied by growing interest in quality of employment and demands from policymakers, governments and researchers for more systematic information on the quality of employment to complement the well-established quantitative labour market indicators. The Framework offers a coherent structure for measuring quality of employment and provides practical guidance for compiling and interpreting a number of indicators.

With external conditions sluggish and highly uncertain as the global economy still struggles to shake off the effects of the economic crisis of 2008-2009, the Latin American and Caribbean region is not isolated from these effects and is projected to record a small drop in gross domestic product in 2015, followed by a weak recovery in 2016. This edition examines how a third consecutive year of increasing declines in regional export values affects the region.

Evaluation of UNDP Contribution to Gender Equality and Women’s Empowerment United Nations Development Programme The evaluation of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) contribution to gender equality is an independent thematic evaluation conducted by the Independent Evaluation Office (IEO) of the UNDP during the course of 2014. Following the evaluation of gender mainstreaming in UNDP, this evaluation focuses on the overall contribution of UNDP to promoting gender equality and women’s empowerment. Gender equality remains an unfulfilled promise that affects all humanity. The 1970s and 1980s saw discussions in civil society, governments and United Nations agencies that focused on increasing attention, protection mechanisms, and resources dedicated to advance women’s equity and social justice. UNDP has been at the forefront of responding to these developments since the 1970s. Publication Date: December 2015 ISBN: 9789211263732

Global Governance and Rules for the Post-2015 Era Addressing Emerging Issues in the Global Environment United Nations / Bloomsbury Academic Attention is increasingly being paid to the conceptualization of the sustainable development agenda that should guide global development efforts beyond 2015. New trends are shaping the international environment, suggesting that the world emerging from the recent economic and financial crisis will probably be very different from the one we have known so far. The emerging issues demand new concerted responses and new international efforts, which will have to be framed by new rules and more democratic and inclusive mechanisms of global governance. This publication provides a reflection of how global rules have been shaping development experiences and outcomes; an identification of the shortcomings of global governance mechanisms, and innovative suggestions for reforming and improving them.

PUBLIC DIPLOMACY WHAT IT IS AND HOW TO DO IT Alan Hunt
United Nations Institute for Training and Research Efforts by governments to influence the public in other countries have existed for some time. Though the concept of public diplomacy emerged in the 1960s, the advent of ICT has given powerful impetus to this particular way of conducting international relations. Increasingly, governments lost their quasi monopoly on the control of information to the benefit of public opinion and non-state actors. Who, then, does public diplomacy belong to? How is the task divided? What are the responsibilities of government officials? What is the role of non-state actors? How can one measure the power of the media? This publication is designed for diplomats but is also a must-have for anyone keen to explore this area in depth.

Company Perspectives on Non-tariff Measures in Arab States International Trade Centre Intraregional trade among Arab States is low compared to other regions. This publication offers insights into the main challenges to trade, within and beyond the region, and suggests how to address them. It shares the perspectives of exporters and importers obtained through surveys. The surveys are part of an ITC series of developing-country projects on non-tariff measures (NTMs). This is the first such publication to examine country surveys in a regional context focusing on bottlenecks arising from NTMs, including government-imposed strict regulations; procedures that make compliance difficult, and inefficiencies in the trade-related business environment. The findings show that many trade impediments originate in the region and the obstacles could be solved by tackling procedural bottlenecks, and by facilitating trade.

This report looks at the missing link to inclusive growth for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs), which are less productive relative to large firms in the developing world than in the developed world. Based on three pillars of competitiveness “connect, compete and change“ the SME Competitiveness Grid presented here makes it easy to spot strengths and weaknesses of enterprises. It determines whether these reflect weaknesses at the firm level, within their business environment or in the national environment. This helps countries understand the nature of their SME competitiveness and what is inhibiting them. Using firm-level data, this report finds that many of the biggest gaps between small and large firms are in the “connect” pillar. It is targeted at SME experts, trade and investment institutions, businesses, and governments. Publication Date: December 2015 ISBN: 9789291374281

By observing how economies at different levels of development have integrated into supply chains at different speeds and to varying extents, we can cast light on those policies that influence and shape value chain participation, and hence influence future patterns of trade and investment. The particular features of participation in value chains also have an impact on the ability of countries to access foreign technology and build innovative capacity, which in turn influences structural change and future development options.

SHELTER FROM THE STORM: A TRANSFORMATIVE AGENDA FOR WOMEN AND GIRLS IN A CRISIS-PRONE WORLD
SHELTER FROM THE STORM A transformative agenda for women and girls in a crisis-prone world
Natural disasters and conflicts jeopardize the health of millions of women and adolescent girls every year. While remarkable progress has been achieved during the past decade protecting the health and rights of women and adolescent girls in humanitarian settings, the growth in need has outstripped the growth in funding and services. Yet, these services are of critical importance, especially for very young adolescent girls, who are the most vulnerable and least able to confront the many challenges they face, even in stable times. The State of World Population 2015 describes the impact of crises on women and girls and proposes a transformative agenda for the future. Publication Date: December 2015 ISBN: 9780897149877

State of the World’s Indigenous Peoples
Indigenous Peoples’ Access to Health Services United Nations This publication provides background to many of the health issues that indigenous peoples face. Improving indigenous peoples’ health is a critical challenge, as their health status is severely affected by their living conditions, income levels, employment rates, access to safe water, sanitation, health services and food availability. They also face destruction of their lands, territories and resources, which are essential to their very survival. Other threats include climate change and environmental contamination. Geographical isolation and poverty result in major structural barriers in accessing health care, further compounded by discrimination, racism and a lack of cultural understanding.

UNITED NATIONS
Spine = 9mm
The United Nations Motorcycle Helmet Study United Nations This study examines issues, progress and challenges in efforts to improve the safety and wellbeing of motorcycle riders through the use of approved motorcycle helmets. The growth in motorcycles is accompanied by an increase in serious and fatal accidents. Evidence shows that once internationally harmonized helmet regulations, such as the UN Regulation No. 22 type-approval system for helmets, are in place and laws on helmet wearing are enforced, these trends tend to reverse. In examining the relationship of income growth and national motorcycle fleet expansion, this study argues the socio-economic case for introduction of helmet regulations and their enforcement by delivering a benefit-cost analysis of taking such legislative actions.
