Regional Cooperation for Inclusive and Sustainable Development

South and South-West Asia Development Report 2012-2013

By: South and South-West Asia Office United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific, South and South-West Asia Office

South and South-West Asia remains one of the fastest growing subregions in the world even though its economic growth has slowed down in 2012 due to a deteriorating global economic environment. Although the subregion continues to push the world’s economic centre of gravity to the East, as India is on track to become the world’s second largest economy by 2050, it faces many challenges to making the development process more inclusive and sustainable. These include widespread poverty and hunger, poor levels of human development, wide infrastructure gaps, food and energy insecurity and the threat of natural disasters. In addition, the subregion’s least developed and landlocked developing countries face unusual obstacles. The South and South-West Asia Development Report argues that regional cooperation can help solve many of the subregion’s challenges and help secure a more sustainable future. In the decade ahead, the subregion’s member States have a chance to cooperate amongst themselves to ensure that their dynamism and development success are sustained, and that the subregion re-emerges as the hub of East–West trade that it once was. As a development partner of South and South-West Asia, now with a new office dedicated to the subregion, ESCAP in this Report highlights elements of a regional policy agenda for harnessing the potential of cooperation in select areas. The South and South-West Asia Development Report will be an essential resource for policymakers, development professionals, economists, as well as those concerned with development in South and South-West Asia and beyond.

The First Parliament of Asia

Sixty Years of the Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (1947-2007).

By: United Nations. Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific

Having been created in 1947, the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP) is now 60 years old - and is entering its seventh decade at a time when the United Nations system as a whole is going through a period of reflection and reform. This book attempts to embed ESCAP's story into that of the Asian and Pacific region as a whole, which has moved from a region stamped by the effects of a long colonial history, to its emergence as a major player on the global scene.

Regional Follow-up to the World Summit on Sustainable Development in Asia and the Pacific

By: United Nations,United Nations. Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific

The World Summit on Sustainable Development, held in Johannesburg in September 2002, highlighted the fact that global sustainable development was critically dependent upon achieving sustainable development in the Asia and the Pacific region, to be pursued at both regional and subregional levels. This publication considers a number of policy initiatives and priorities to support these goals for environmental and sustainable development in the five subregions of Central Asia, North-East Asia, South Asia, South-East Asia and the South Pacific. Subregional initiatives suggested relate to: integrated water resources management; transboundary air pollution, including abatement of dust storm; desertification and land degradation; poverty reduction and food security; natural disaster mitigation; urban development; the impact of globalisation; protection and management of coastal and marine ecosystems.
