It was the year of our sixteenthministerial-level conference, the first held in Geneva since our founding in 1964,and the year our member States adopted the Geneva Consensus, a renewed roadmap for our work at a time of extraordinary global change. It was also a year of widespread shocks. Tariff volatility reshaped world trade.Investment flows to developing countries weakened. Debt burdens grew heavier.Aid flows declined. For the most vulnerable economies - the least developedcountries, landlocked developing countries, small island developing States, thesepressures compounded one another, making the path to structural transformationsteeper than ever. Each of these shocks demanded a response across our threepillars of work: in our research and analysis, in our intergovernmental consensus-building and, on the ground, in our technical cooperation. UNCTAD itself operated under significant resource constraints throughout the year. Budgetreductions led to the abolition of posts, and liquidity pressures across the United NationsSecretariat forced difficult choices about what we could deliver and when. Some projects werescaled back. Some meetings were shortened. Some publications were postponed. And yet, this was also a year that showed what UNCTAD can do under pressure. When tariffannouncements began altering the landscape of global trade, we did not wait for the dust tosettle. We launched rapid assessments to give member States real-time analysis of what theshifts meant for their exporters, their farmers, their small businesses. We brought evidence tothe table when policymakers needed it most. Our technical cooperation programmes, fromcustoms modernization and debt management to entrepreneurship networks and digital tradereadiness, continued to deliver results in over 100 countries and territories. The centrepiece of the year was our quadrennial conference, the sixteenth session of the UnitedNations Conference on Trade and Development. In October 2025, member States came togetherin Geneva and adopted the Geneva Consensus, a comprehensive outcome that reaffirmed therole of UNCTAD as the development arm of the United Nations system and set clear prioritiesfor the years ahead. In the Consensus, member States called on us to deepen our supportfor electronic commerce and the digital economy, to strengthen our assistance for countriesapproaching graduation from least developed country status and to sharpen our engagementwith landlocked developing countries and small island developing States. They recognizedthe growing importance of services trade as a frontier for structural transformation, and theurgency of addressing critical minerals governance, illicit financial flows and developing-countryrepresentation in the international financial architecture. This annual report documents what UNCTAD accomplished throughout that demanding year.The pages that follow cover each dimension of our work, from the flagship publications thatshaped policy debates, to the intergovernmental processes that built consensus, to the technicalcooperation that translated mandates into tangible support for developing countries. Theyreflect the contributions of every division and office: globalization and development strategies,international trade and commodities, investment and enterprise, technology and logistics, ourwork on Africa and least developed countries, statistics, intergovernmental outreach and supportservice and our presence in New York. They also reflect the work of our communications team,which expanded the reach and visibility of UNCTAD at a time when our analysis was in highdemand. The year ahead will bring no less complexity. But the Geneva Consensus gives us a clearmandate, and the work documented in these pages shows an institution that delivers, evenunder pressure. UNCTAD was built for moments like this. It will continue to rise to them.
