Science and technology

In 1992, the United Nations continued its efforts to strengthen the scientific and technological areas of development. As a result of the restructuring of the United Nations Secretariat, the activities of the Centre for Science and Technology for Development were incorporated into the new Science, Technology, Energy, Environment and Natural Resources Division of the Department of Economic and Social Development. In April, as decided by the General Assembly, the Economic and Social Council established a new Commission on Science and Technology for Development to replace the Assembly’s Intergovernmental Committee on Science and Technology for Development and its subsidiary body, the Advisory Committee on Science and Technology for Development.
