UN 2.0 Transformation Areas

The UN is embedding five essential capabilities across everything we do: data, digital, innovation, behavioural science, and foresight - underpinned by forward-thinking culture. These capabilities strengthen how we tackle global challenges, design effective solutions, and deliver meaningful results for people and planet.

Modern data skills turn information into actionable insights, enabling smarter decisions and greater impact.

Digital capabilities help us build scalable solutions, connect people to services, and increase reach and efficiency.

Innovation skills allow us to experiment, refine, and scale what works, ensuring we adapt to evolving needs.

Behavioural insights help us design interventions that reflect how people make decisions, driving positive, lasting change.

Foresight equips us to anticipate emerging trends, prepare for potential disruptions, and act proactively.

A strong UN 2.0 culture promotes openness, collaboration, and continuous learning across all levels of our work.
