The 57th Session of the United Nations Statistical Commission will be held in person in New York from 3 to 6 March 2026. As the highest body in the international statistical system, the Commission provides the global forum where international statistical standards are considered and approved. The 57th Session will include discussions on, inter alia, social and demographic statistics, data governance, AI-readiness, environment and climate change statistics, and well-being measurement, alongside a broad range of other topics on advancing official statistics.
In addition to the formal session, the programme includes high-level events surrounding the Commission, including the special seminar on emerging issues (27 February 2026) focusing on AI-readiness for Official Data and Statistics, and the High-Level Forum on Official Statistics (2 March 2026) focusing on Beyond GDP.
SESRIC, in its capacity as the Secretariat of the OIC Statistical Commission (OICStatCom), will participate in the 57th Session of the Commission and will organise a side event, namely the Follow-up Meeting of the 14th Session of the OIC-StatCom. This meeting will provide a platform to review progress on the implementation of the OIC-StatCom resolutions, strengthen coordination among national statistical systems in OIC Member Countries, and support evidence-based policymaking and sustainable development.
