摘要:The United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) has a special place
in the United Nations system: it is the only organization specifically targeting the creation
of wealth through manufacturing, in which it mainly focuses on promoting growth in the
small and medium enterprise sector, the key generator of wealth in most developing
countries. To improve standards of living through industries that are both internationally
competitive and environmentally sustainable, the Organization has created the largest portfolio
of projects related to trade capacity-building in the United Nations system, and the
Organization plays a lead role in, among others, the implementation of the Montreal
Protocol for the elimination of ozone depleting substances (ODS) and the Stockholm
Convention for the elimination of persistent organic pollutants (POPs).
