Coordination Segment

The Coordination Segment of ECOSOC will be held on Thursday, 6 February, and Friday, 7 February 2025. 

Through the Coordination Segment, the Council can more effectively fulfill its Charter role of coordinating its subsidiary bodies and the broader UN system in the economic, social, health, environmental, and related areas. 

During the Coordination Segment, Member States: 

• Steer the Council system towards an efficient and integrated workflow; 
• Provide forward-looking policy guidance to ensure coherence and direction in the policies and normative work of subsidiary bodies and specialized agencies related to the 2030 Agenda; 
• Formulate common, action-oriented policy guidance on matters requiring implementation or coordination efforts; 
• Provide guidance and coordination to subsidiary bodies, ensuring a clearer division of labor among them, aligning their work with the implementation of the 2030 Agenda and promoting their execution of the intergovernmentally negotiated ministerial declaration from the previous year; 
• Provide detailed guidance to the subsidiary bodies of the Council and the UN system on their upcoming work on the main theme and develop action-oriented assessment and recommendations so that those bodies best contribute to the preparations for the HLPF thematic review; 
• Review how subsidiary bodies and the UN system address interlinkages among the SDGs and the integrated implementation of the 2030 Agenda, guiding their work for the remainder of the Council cycle.
