UN/DESA Policy Brief #51: Reflecting on the World Economic and Social Survey's 70 years of development policy analysis

In drawing the most relevant lessons for implementing the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the World Economic and Social Survey 2017 systematically reviews the seven decades of development discussions contained in the publication ? the oldest continuous publication of its kind. Since its inception in 1947 and before the publication of the World Bank?s first World Development Report in 1978, the Survey had been the only publication that produced annual reporting and analyses of the global economic trends and their development implications. As such, the Survey has documented a wealth of development experiences across the different phases of global economic development (see Figure 1).… UN/DESA Policy Brief #51: Reflecting on the World Economic and Social Survey's 70 years of development policy analysis

World Economic and Social Survey 2017: Reflecting on 70 years of development policy analysis

Since 1947 the World Economic and Social Survey has promoted a broader understanding of development, emphasizing the importance of advancing the structural transformation of the economy, progress in social development and environmental sustainability.

These lessons from the past are relevant to the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. In particular, the Survey highlights the importance of a stable global economy supported by coordinated… World Economic and Social Survey 2017: Reflecting on 70 years of development policy analysis

World Economic and Social Survey 2016: Climate Change Resilience: An Opportunity for Reducing Inequalities

The World Economic and Social Survey 2016 contributes to the debate on the implementation challenges of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. In addressing the specific challenge of building resilience to climate change, the Survey focuses attention on the population groups and communities that are disproportionately affected by climate hazards. It argues that, in the absence of transformative policies which coherently address the economic, social and environmental dimensions of development, building climate resilience will remain elusive and poverty and inequalities will worsen. To the extent that the differential impact of climate hazards on people and communities is determined… World Economic and Social Survey 2016: Climate Change Resilience: An Opportunity for Reducing Inequalities
