UNICEF is committed to doing all it can to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), in partnership with governments, civil society, business, academia and the United Nations family – and especially children and young people.
We’re building a new UNICEF.org. As we swap out old for new, pages will be in transition. Thanks for your patience – please keep coming back to see the improvements.
All meetings at United Nations Headquarters will be held in the conference rooms (CR) of the United Nations Conference Building (CB) or General Assembly (GA), unless otherwise noted.
