UN Global Pulse functions as the Secretary-General’s Innovation Lab, operating where innovation intersects with the human sciences to advance solutions for people and the planet. The organization works to support responsible and inclusive innovation across the UN system by partnering with external collaborators to develop new approaches and help the UN transform toward a more collaborative operating model. Its work covers data-driven initiatives, digital initiatives, behavioral science, and foresight methods, with concrete efforts ranging from expanding digital inclusion for women in Indonesia to forecasting disaster impacts in the Philippines and shaping national data strategies in Uganda.

Based in New York, it positions itself as a facilitator and catalyst for experimentation within the United Nations, seeking to nurture a culture of creativity across UN entities. Recent developments include the launch of the second cohort of the Innovation Scale Accelerator, an initiative aimed at scaling promising UN innovations from pilots to wide-scale adoption.
