Regional Integration as a Strategic Avenue for Bangladesh LDC Graduation with Momentum
The report outlines the state of Bangladesh’s economy in the wake of COVID-19, and the likely impacts of the phasing out of LDC-specific international support measures upon LDC graduation.

Global Sustainable Development Report 2016
This report brings together a range of existing scientific assessments and reviews global progress and future sustainable development pathways in an integrated way. It responds to the 2012 Rio+20 Conference mandate to contribute to strengthening the science-policy interface for sustainable development. Major international conferences and summits in 2015 – on financing for development, sustainable development, and climate change – have defined a new sustainable development agenda for the next 15 years. At all levels, from global to local, attention is turning to implementing this ambitious agenda. This is the context in which this year’s Global Sustainable Development Report appears. Given the adoption of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development with its sustainable development goals (SDGs), the report adopts the SDGs as its scope. True to its mandate, the report is designed as an assessment of assessments. It endeavors to present a range of scientific perspectives and to be policy-relevant but not policy-prescriptive. Like its predecessors, it continues to explore possible approaches and vantage points from which to examine the science-policy interface, as well as scientific approaches that can inform policies building upon integration and interlinkages across sustainable development goals, sectors, and issues.

This first edition of the SDG Pulse illustrates in a very concrete way how UNCTAD is contributing to the 2030 Agenda. The report not only presents statistical updates for the indicators for which UNCTAD is a custodian or co-custodian, but it also presents a range of other complementary indicators that provide a wider context and more nuance to these complex topics. This report also presents some case studies from UNCTAD’s capacity development programme from a statistical perspective – presenting our activities and successes in hard numbers. These case studies are important as they illustrate the Results Based Management approach being adopted by UNCTAD – helping us to improve our responsiveness and accountability to member states. Finally, this report will every year, highlight a thematic issue of immediate relevance. This year’s theme addresses the many faces of inequality. In particular, to discuss how developments with regard to access to data and information may be creating new dimensions of inequality.
L’Analyse economique et la politique de la concurrence dans le cadre du projet regional de renforcement de la concurrence et de la protection des consommateurs en afrique centrale
Cette publication met en évidence l’intérêt de la politique de concurrence en vue d’un développement inclusif au sein des pays de la Communauté Economiques et Monétaires des Etats d’Afrique Centrale (CEMAC). Conformément à l’agenda 2030 des Nations Unies sur le développement durable, un tel développement remet l’homme au centre de toutes les attentions en prenant en compte sa santé, son niveau de vie et son environnement. L’approche systémique sur laquelle s’appuie cette étude rappelle à suffisance que nous vivons dans un monde interconnecté et que, c’est ensemble que nous ferons face aux multiples défis dont le monde fait face, la crise sanitaire du Covid-19 en est une illustration parfaite. Une mobilisation est donc nécessaire pour soutenir les économies des pays de la zone CEMAC pour l’atteinte des objectifs du développement durable selon l’agenda 2030 afin de ne laisser personne de côté. Dans cette perspective, le management des ressources communautaires combiné au management de la complexité qui est préconisé apparait comme fondamental pour une meilleure intégration de la politique de concurrence.

Competition and Consumer Protection Policies for Sustainability

This report starts by exploring the interplay between competition law and sustainability. It then takes stock of initiatives undertaken by competition authorities. It then addresses how to promote sustainable consumption through the lens of consumer protection policy, providing examples from different jurisdictions on consumer information and education, business initiatives towards consumers and enforcement and guidance actions undertaken by consumer protection authorities.
Asia and the Pacific SDG Progress Report 2023
Championing Sustainability Despite Adversities
The Asia and the Pacific SDG Progress Report 2023 analyses regional and subregional progress towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and targets. It applies a measurement framework developed by ESCAP to identify progress gaps and acceleration requirements at the goal, target and indicator levels. While there are impressive national accomplishments across the 17 Goals, none of the countries in the region are on track to reach them and overall achievement is much lower than anticipated for the midpoint. One impediment to success is gaps in available data. This report features good practices on data driven approaches for effective implementation of the 2030 Agenda, which provide lessons to countries and can be leveraged to advance sustainable development in the region.
