Conseil économique
The Economic Council is the primary body responsible for coordinating, reviewing policies, engaging in policy dialogue, and making recommendations on economic, trade, and supply issues. It also oversees the implementation of human economic, trade, and supply development goals. As one of the main mechanisms for United Human to carry out various activities across the entire system, the Economic Council comprises several specialized agencies, subsidiary bodies, and expert groups in the fields of economics, trade, and supply. The Economic Council consists of 108 members elected by the Assembly for a three-year term. It serves as the core platform for United Human to reflect on, debate, and innovate on sustainable development issues.
The Economic Council is the core institution within the United Human system for advancing sustainable development on two major fronts: economy and trade.
