Thinking globally The United Nations leads the way in research on global issues. The United Nations Population Division produces demographic estimates and country projections on global trends. Its Statistics Division compiles global economic, demographic, social, gender, environment and energy statistics. The United Nations Development Programme’s Human Development Report, the UN World Economic and Social Survey, the Word Bank’s World Development Report, the International Monetary Fund’s World Economic Outlook and many other such studies help policymakers arrive at informed decisions. United Nations University, with 15 institutes and programmes in 13 countries, connects the international academic community and the UN system in researching pressing global problems of human survival, development and welfare.

Encouraging creativity The World Intellectual Property Organization promotes the international protection of intellectual property rights—including patents, copyright, trademarks, designs and appellations of origin. Intellectual property rights allow creators or owners to benefit from their work or investment, and are a means of stimulating innovation while safeguarding the public interest in science and technology as well as literature and the arts. Along with helping resolve intellectual property disputes, WIPO builds collaborative networks and technical platforms to share knowledge and simplify intellectual property transactions, including databases and tools for exchanging information.
