The Essential UN

About this book

Everything you always wanted to know about the United Nations—now fully updated for a new era. This expanded second edition of The Essential UN is designed for all global citizens. It offers an accessible, engaging overview of the United Nations, explaining what it is, how it works, and why it matters. With a new preface, up-to-date facts and figures, revised examples, and expanded coverage of the UN's work, this edition reflects the evolving priorities of the international community. A new chapter on future initiatives explores how the United Nations is adapting to a rapidly changing world. As the world's only truly global organization, the United Nations is where countries come together to confront challenges that no single nation can solve alone. From human rights and sustainable development to climate change, humanitarian action, and international peace and security, the UN works on behalf of all people, everywhere. This book demonstrates how the United Nations makes a difference in the lives of millions and why its mission remains more vital than ever. The e-book for this publication has been converted into an accessible format for the visually impaired and people with print reading disabilities. It is fully compatible with leading screen-reader technologies such as JAWS and NVDA.
