The United Nations constitutes the global framework for most of the international activities on our planet, and it has been progressively exposed to more significant challenges involving an increasing demand for knowledge to accomplish its mission. Hence, from an analytical perspective, this work presents some reflections on the state of knowledge management in the UN and its impact on the fulfillment of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The latter may be the biggest challenge in terms of knowledge that the United Nations has ever faced since its foundation. The importance of this study lies in the fact that it explores and provides information on a subject that has not been widely studied. The main conclusion is that, although some progress has been made in this field within this organization, the results have not reached the expected levels yet mainly due to the absence of a joint and integrated knowledge management strategy.
