from their website:
.
United Nations University (UNU) studies human activities and the way in which we are altering the world, with a particular emphasis on the concerns and needs of developing countries.
.
UNU was established by the United Nations General Assembly in 1972 to be an international community of scholars engaged in research, advanced training, and the dissemination of knowledge related to pressing global problems of human survival, development and welfare.
.
UNU activities focus mainly on peace and governance, environment and sustainable development, and science and technology in relation to human welfare.
.
UNU operates through a worldwide network of research and postgraduate training centres, with its planning and coordinating headquarters in Tokyo. As a result, UNU is strikingly different in structure and mode of operation from a conventional campus-based university.
.
Anyway, they have some great papers to read here.
.
MDG on Reducing Biodiversity Loss and the CBD’s 2010 Target
.
Environment for African Development: A Sustainable Future through Science and Technology
.
Bioprospecting in the Arctic
.
Is Human Reproductive Cloning Inevitable: Future Options for UN Governance

There is also going to be a report released today (at a side event at the Poznan climate change conference) called “Innovation in Responding to Climate Change: Nanotechnology, Ocean Energy and Forestry”. The word 'nanotechnology' obviously that caught my eye.

For those interested, I have also put a post on it on my nanotechnology blog: Random Man in Nano-land
