| MEDIA ADVISORY: Launch of UN Economic and Social Survey of Asia and the Pacific 2012 |
| 7 May 2012 |
 The Asia-Pacific region continues to face a deeply challenging external environment. The V-shaped recovery from the depths of the 2008-09 global financial crisis in 2010 proved to be short-lived, as the world economy entered a second stage of the crisis in 2011, continued uncertain economic outlook of the US economy and due to the Euro zone debt crisis. Notwithstanding this slowdown, growth in Asia and the Pacific remains substantially better than in any other region – continuing as an anchor of stability and growth pole for the world economy. The 2012 edition of the Economic and Social Survey of Asia and the Pacific: Pursuing Shared Prosperity in an Era of Turbulence and High Commodity Prices, analyses the short and medium-term challenges for the region and the outlook for the year ahead. A persistent concern for the region highlighted in the Survey is the challenge presented by commodity price volatility, in particular the trend of rising commodity prices. High prices and persistent volatility are likely to become the ‘new normal’ of the global economy. This commodity boom presents risks and opportunities for both commodity exporters and importers in the region.
The flagship publication of the Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP) – the regional arm of the United Nations – provides policy options for governments to overcome these challenges and maintain the pursuit of inclusive and sustainable development in Asia and the Pacific.

| "Нэг суурин-Нэг бүтээгдэхүүн" хөтөлбөр сумаас дэлхийд гарах брэндийн хөтөч |
| 19 January 2012 |
|
“Нэг суурин-Нэг бүтээгдэхүүн” (НСНБ) гэдэг нь “Орон нутаг ба дэлхий нийт” гэсэн ойлголт. Хэдийгээр тэс өөр ойлголт ч орон нутгийн гэж үздэг зүйлийг улам боловсронгуй болгож сайжруулснаар дэлхий нийтийн болгож болдог аж. Тухайлбал Англид орон нутгийн чанартай байсан хөл бөмбөг өнөөдөр дэлхий нийтийнх болсон төдийгүй хөл бөмбөгийн дэлхийн аваргыг бүхий л улс орны иргэд шимтэн сонирхдог. Үүнтэй адил НСНБ хөтөлбөрийн гол үндсэн зарчим энэ юм гэж Японы Ойта мужийн НСНБ олон улсын солилцооны хорооны Ерөнхийлөгч Морихико Хирамацу хэлсэн байдаг.

2011 Human Development Report: Environmental trends threaten global progress for the poor
|
| 02 November 2011 |
Development progress in the world’s poorest countries could be halted or even reversed by mid-century unless bold steps are taken now to slow climate change, prevent further environmental damage, and reduce deep inequalities within and among nations, according to projections in the 2011 Human Development Report, launched by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) here today.
The 2011 Report—Sustainability and Equity: A Better Future for All—argues that environmental sustainability can be most fairly and effectively achieved by addressing health, education, income, and gender disparities together with the need for global action on energy production and ecosystem protection. The Report was launched in Copenhagen today by UNDP Administrator Helen Clark with Danish Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt, whose new government has pledged to reduce Denmark’s CO2 emissions by a dramatic 40 percent over the next 10 years.

| Ulaanbaatar 20 October 2011 |
The revenue generated from Mongolia’s abundant natural resources should benefit all of its citizens, United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Administrator Helen Clark said today wrapping up her three-day official visit to the country.
“I am convinced that natural resources can drive human development if they are managed in transparent, inclusive, and sustainable ways,” Clark said today at an international conference on extractive industries.
“UNDP exists to support human development, and we want to see the wealth that a country has actually flow through to lift living standards on a more uniform basis,” she added. “We’ve seen so many cases where extractive industry booms generate a lot of GDP growth and wealth, but it doesn’t affect poverty reduction.” |
