Energy, natural resources and cartography

Among the several UN bodies dedicated to the conservation, development and use of energy and natural resources in 2010, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), in addition to its work on the nonproliferation of nuclear weapons, continued to address global issues related to nuclear technology, in particular by serving as the focal point for worldwide cooperation in the peaceful uses of nuclear technology and for promoting global nuclear safety and security. The IAEA Peaceful Uses Initiative, launched during the year, increased funding for technical cooperation activities.
