In June 2000, two Special Sessions of the United Nations General Assembly were particularly important for social development. The first, in New York, reviewed progress toward meeting the goals of the 1995 Fourth World Conference on Women. The second, called Geneva 2000, discussed ways to promote the Programme of Action of the 1995 World Summit for Social Development.

UNRISD sponsored events in both New York and Geneva. This issue of UNRISD News contains excerpts from speeches and papers presented there, as well as brief reports on other Institute conferences held over the past six months.
