ECOSOC (Intermediate): Commission for Social Development (CSocD)
Originally known as the Social Commission, the Commission for Social Development or CSocD is the key UN body tasked with initiating the Copenhagen Declaration and Programme of Action, which was established at the World Summit for Social Development in Copenhagen in 1995. This commission emanates from the world summit’s pledge to eradicate poverty, create full employment, and foster social integration. The purpose of CSocD is to promote affordable and equitable access to basic services, and Its most recent priority theme focused on the eradication of poverty and homelessness. CSocD is part of ECOSOC as one of its representing committees.
UNFCCC (Intermediate)
The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) is the United Nations entity tasked with supporting the global response to the threat of climate change. The primary aim of the Convention is to keep the global average temperature rise this century as close as possible to 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. The ultimate objective of all three agreements under the UNFCCC is to stabilize greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere at a level that will prevent dangerous human interference with the climate system.
