"Strengthening the role of the United Nations in global economic governance”
- What does global economic governance mean? Which international economic challenges need a regional response and which economic problems require global solutions? As a case in point, what is the impact on development of the European debt crisis and on which arenas could this impact be addressed?
- What has the economic crisis revealed about the role of the UN in global economic governance, including in relation to emerging informal multilateral structures as well as with regard to fulfilling its development mandate?
This meeting will be based, in particular, on paragraphs 1, 2, 5, 6, 11, 16,32,42 and 52 of the Outcome.
