    The UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UNDESA) announced that the 20 "prominent personalities, globally renowned for their intellectual leadership in economic and social fields, will form the second United Nations High-level Advisory Board (HLAB) on Economic and Social Affairs."

    First United Nations High-level Advisory Board was established in 2018

    "Over the next two years, the Board will strengthen the United Nations thought leadership on sustainable development and reinforce its impact on policies at every level from global to local," UNDESA said.

    The first United Nations High-level Advisory Board was established in June 2018 as a key element of efforts to support the UN Member States in implementing the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
