The SDG Summit, with its groundbreaking Political Declaration, reinvigorated our global commitment and set the stage for accelerated action. UN DESA stands ready to harness this momentum from this year’s Summit of the Future, helping Member States to put the 2030 Agenda back on track. In these challenging times, our mission as the home of the development pillar within the UN system has never been more critical.</p> <p>This edition of the UN DESA Highlights shows how we deliver across three key pillars of work – intergovernmental support, analysis, and capacity-building. It showcases the Department’s tangible results over the course of the 78th session of the General Assembly (September 2023-August 2024). It demonstrates UN DESA’s commitment to the Secretary-General’s vision of safeguarding people and planet, and highlights our efforts to achieve the SDGs with just six years remaining.</p> <p> </p> </div> </div> <div class="col-md-6"><img alt="" src="https://www.un.org/sites/un2.un.org/files/desa-hlr-2024-introduction-usg-photo.jpg" style="max-height: 465px;"></div> </div>  <div class="row" style="margin-top: 10px; -moz-appearance: none; -webkit-appearance: none;"> <div class="col-md-4 text-center"><a href="https://www.un.org/sites/un2.un.org/files/desa-hlr-2023-2024-what-undesa-do.pdf"><img src="https://www.un.org/sites/un2.un.org/files/desa-hlr-2024-what-does-desa-btn.svg" style="display: inline-block; height: 80px;line-height: 3;padding-left: 10px;padding-right: 10px; -webkit-appearance: none; -moz-appearance: none; appearance: none;"></a></div> <div class="col-md-4 text-center"><a href="https://www.un.org/sites/un2.un.org/files/desa-hlr-2023-2024-undesa-in-numbers.pdf"><img src="https://www.un.org/sites/un2.un.org/files/desa-hlr-2024-undesa-in-numbers-btn.svg" style="display: inline-block; height: 80px;line-height: 3;padding-left: 10px;padding-right: 10px;"></a></div> <div class="col-md-4 text-center"><a href="https://www.un.org/sites/un2.un.org/files/desa-hlr-2023-2024-introduction.pdf"><img src="https://www.un.org/sites/un2.un.org/files/desa-hlr-2024-introduction-btn.svg" style="display: inline-block; height: 80px;line-height: 3;padding-left: 10px;padding-right: 10px;"></a></div> <div class="col-md-4 text-center"><a href="https://www.un.org/sites/un2.un.org/files/desa-hlr-2023-2024-supporting-intergovernmental-processes.pdf"><img src="https://www.un.org/sites/un2.un.org/files/desa-hlr-2024-intergovernmental-btn.svg" style="display: inline-block; height: 80px;line-height: 3;padding-left: 10px;padding-right: 10px;"></a></div> <div class="col-md-4 text-center"><a href="https://www.un.org/sites/un2.un.org/files/desa-hlr-2023-2024-annexes.pdf"><img src="https://www.un.org/sites/un2.un.org/files/desa-hlr-2024-annexes-btn.svg" style="display: inline-block; height: 80px;line-height: 3;padding-left: 10px;padding-right: 10px;"></a></div> <div class="col-md-4 text-center"><a href="https://www.un.org/sites/un2.un.org/files/desa_highlights_report_2023-2024_organigramme.pdf"><img src="https://www.un.org/sites/un2.un.org/files/desa-hlr-2024-organigramme-btn.svg" style="display: inline-block; height: 80px;line-height: 3;padding-left: 10px;padding-right: 10px;"></a></div> </div>  <div> <hr id="1"> <h2 style="margin-top: 20px; color:#009EDB; font-family: 'Roboto';">Chapters</h2> <div class="row" style="margin-top: 50px;"> <div class="col-md-4" style="float: left;"> <h4 style="font-family: 'Roboto'; font-size: 1.5rem;"><a href="https://www.un.org/sites/un2.un.org/files/desa-highlights-report-2023-2024-chapter-1.pdf"><img src="https://www.un.org/sites/un2.un.org/files/desa-hlr-2023-chapter-1-cover.jpg"> </a><br>  </h4> <h2 class="dg_bc_title" style="color:#F2B84F; font-family: 'Roboto';">Accelerating action on the SDGs</h2> <div style="font-family: 'Roboto'; font-size: 17px;padding-top: 7px">Interlinked crises and ongoing conflicts continue to threaten SDG progress.
