The recent sub-prime mortgage crisis and the collapse of the global housing bubble damaged financial institutions globally and sparked the worst financial and economic crisis since the Great Depression. As part of UNECE efforts to avert future crises and to promote sustainable development in the region, a round table on sustainable real estate markets was held in Kiev, Ukraine, on 18 June 2010, organized by UNECE in cooperation with the International Real Estate Federation and the UNECE Real Estate Market Advisory Group.

The Round Table, “Towards Sustainable Real Estate Markets in Ukraine”, launched the UNECE Policy Framework for Sustainable Real Estate Markets in Ukraine and discussed the main principles and guidance provided in the study. Government officials, representatives of professional associations and the private sector, as well as international experts participated in the Round Table, exchanging views on the current situation in the real estate sector of Ukraine and discussing how to adapt the principles and guidance of the Policy Framework to Ukraine’s particular institutional context.

The conclusions of the Round Table will provide guidance to a working group, to be established as a follow up to this event, to work with the Government of Ukraine on the development of specific policy reforms in Ukraine’s real estate sector.

The recent financial and economic crisis highlighted the urgent need for UNECE to provide guidance and promote sound real estate markets in its region. Moreover, a fully functioning real estate sector, based on transparent real estate and financial markets, could be a driving force for development and produce economic, social and environmental benefits for UNECE member States. To address these issues, the UNECE Real Estate Market Advisory Group developed the Policy Framework for Sustainable Real Estate Markets, which offers guidance for policy action aimed at building a sustainable real estate sector in countries of the UNECE region.

ENGAGEMENT OPPORTUNITIES

Opportunities are intended for Global Compact stakeholders unless otherwise indicated.

Support Sustainable Development: Partnership Opportunities for Business

This year marks a decade since world leaders committed to the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), but much remains to be done to reach these critical milestones. Business leaders must intensify their efforts to help combat global poverty, hunger and disease and are encouraged to inspire others to do the same. The upcoming Leaders Summit will offer an excellent platform for companies to demonstrate how they are making a contribution to development and the MDGs. The Global Compact hopes that every company attending the Summit will come prepared to share a new commitment. We expect that a highlight of the event will be the announcement of new partnerships between business and the UN in support of the MDGs.

We encourage you to review the prepared list of partnership opportunities from across the UN System that both contribute to the MDGs and could benefit from additional corporate engagement.
