UIA is proud to present this new Volume 6 of the Yearbook of International Organizations. This volume, entitled Global Civil Society and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, replaces the former Volume 6 of the Yearbook set, Who’s Who in International Organizations, which was published as Volume 6 from 2007 to 2017.
There can be little question as to the relevance of the new topic. The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (the UN SDGs) are informed by and in turn inform all gobal civil society actors. This 55th edition of the Yearbook contains 38,395 currently active international bodies. What, we asked, is their link with the UN SDGs? Which of the UN SDGs concern them? With which SDGs should they be concerned? What communities of international bodies form around each of the SDGs?
This is the first result of UIA’s exploration of these questions. It is but a first step in a work in progress. In the course of the next year – indeed, in the coming years – we will continue to refine the methodology used and give ever greater clarity to the scope and composition of these new communities.
