The OSCE website is the Organization’s primary means of disseminating information to the general public and the media. The site receives an average of 1.1 million page views and 150,000 visits a month. Originally set up in 1996, it has since been redesigned and relaunched twice. The latest redesign (2005) included major changes, transferring the site to a custom content management system hosted on a dedicated server, and adding a multi-language search engine.

60 years of Unasylva - Weaving knowledge into development

September 14th, 2007 by Andrea Perlis

FAO’s longest-running periodical celebrates its 60th anniversary with a special double issue, reprinting material from every decade of Unasylva’s rich history. The selected articles illustrate how “Weaving knowledge into development”, the slogan from the March 2007 session of the FAO Committee on Forestry, characterizes what Unasylva has been doing for 60 years. Collectively, these articles document the evolution of forestry and of FAO’s activities in forestry – and some of the earliest articles may surprise readers by anticipating concepts that we thought were new.

What globalisation needs

September 13th, 2007 by Rory Clarke

Openness, Equity, Change and Dialogue are needed for globalisation to work better. The economic and political map of the planet has changed, and progress on major challenges will only be achieved by intensifying co-operation between the world’s major players. The goal of a better, fairer, more dynamic world economy can be achieved and the OECD, by becoming an effective “hub of globalisation”, must play a critical role.
