ECOSOC is at the heart of the UN system's efforts to address all three pillars of sustainable development: economic, social, and environmental. It serves as a unified platform for integration, sustainable development action, and follow-up and review. Recently NGOS have been consultative status in the committee. A consultative status grants the NGOS not only access to all ECOSOC records but also many of its subsidiary bodies. The only major UN body with a structured framework for NGO participation is ECOSOC.
