Economic and Social Council

The Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) is one of the six main organs of the United Nations. Established in 1945, this council focuses on three aspects of sustainable development: economic, social and environmental. ECOSOC encourages agreement on policies and actions that make fundamental links across all three aspects.

This year, delegates will be engaging in exciting debate in order to discuss the connections between inclusive economic growth and its ability to eradicate poverty.

Agenda: The economic impact of COVID on income disparity.


The Economic and Social Council is the United Nation's central forum for furthering discussion about policy recommendations for international economic and social issues. It aims to create consensuses, formulate innovative ideas, and further the tenets of sustainable development through debate and collaboration. It focuses on creating policies that create positive, tangible changes in people's real lives.
