The United Nations Economic and Social Council, commonly known as ECOSOC, is the United Nations segment that tackles globally relevant issues regarding economic, environmental, and social concerns to advance these three branches of sustainable development. Founded in 1945, the committee is still considered one of the most important organs in the UN. The ECOSOC is one of the main six current units of the UN Body, alongside the United Nations General Assembly, United Nations Security Council, the Trusteeship Council, International Court of Justice, and the United Nations Secretariat.

This committee focuses on creating and suggesting ways and alternatives to advocate for higher standards of living and full employment as well as economic and social development of countries in the United Nations by formulating commissions and international conferences. Likewise it organizes the work of funds and programs, also engaging with Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs).

Due to its role as one of the most important committees in the UN currently, as mentioned above, the ECOSOC has a high level of interference in the United Nations General Assembly and can only suggest governmental actions.

Currently, 54 members, 18 of which are selected every three years, debate one subject each year to improve the standards of living of various populations around the world. In this simulation, the quantity will be adapted to 20 members.
