The Forum, organized by the UN Statistics Division, reflected on how the Statistical Commission has met the challenges it has faced in the past as well as on how it will meet the challenges that lie ahead, in particular in reference to the impact of new and emerging information needs of the global environment on the global statistical system. The Forum featured a high level panel composed of users and producers of statistics, who provided their views on how the global statistical system has evolved, the role of the Statistical Commission and the new challenges that the Commission has to face to move the global system forward.
