Using UNA 

UNA is a pilot tool designed to help users swiftly find answers to specific sustainability questions. It is based solely on trusted resources from the UN Global Compact to ensure reliable and relevant guidance. UNA is not a comprehensive large language model (LLM) and does not have access to all information available on the web. Therefore, its responses are general and may not always be accurate, complete, or up to date. The information provided is not a substitute for professional advice, and you should verify any important details independently before acting on them.

For information on using UNA, please refer to the legal disclaimer.

We encourage users to be mindful that AI tools, including UNA, are energy- and water-intensive compared to standard internet searches. To help minimise environmental impact, we recommend using UNA thoughtfully. Thank you for your understanding and support in promoting sustainable digital practices. 

UN’s “AI for Good” Initiative: Led by the International Telecommunication Union in partnership with over 50 other UN agencies, the “AI for Good” initiative serves as a multi-stakeholder platform for discussing and promoting the use of AI to advance the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
