**Analysis**
This text appears to be related to the administration of a pension fund and the resolution of concerns about pension levels within the United Nations Joint Staff Pension Fund. The language used is formal and technical, suggesting that it is a formal resolution or report. The content does not seem to be directly related to economic development, natural resources, or environmental issues, and it does not appear to be focused on specific industries or sectors. Instead, it appears to be focused on the internal administration of a pension fund and the resolution of issues related to staff pensions.
