The United Nations is an international organization founded in 1945 to foster global peace, prosperity and justice. It is currently made up of 193 member states. The main organs of the United Nations are the General Assembly, the Security Council, the Economic and Social Council, the Trusteeship Council, the International Court of Justice and the UN Secretariat.
The UN’s many funds, programmes, specialized agencies and other organizations include the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), which provides long-term humanitarian and development assistance to children and mothers; the United Nations Development Programme (UNDF), the organization’s global development network, which focuses on the challenges of democratic governance, poverty reduction, crisis prevention and recovery, energy and environment and HIV/AIDS; and the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), which focuses on everything from teacher training to helping improve education worldwide to protecting important historical and cultural sites around the world.
Our work with the United Nations includes the development of a manual outlining the steps to implement marine spatial management and strengthening National Protected Areas financing systems in six Latin American countries.
