**Analysis**
The text appears to be discussing a United Nations resolution related to the environmental impact of transnational corporations and the need for a feasibility study on a fund financed by voluntary contributions from these corporations. The resolution also mentions a report on the implementation of the resolution and its estimated cost. This suggests that the category should be related to the environment and international cooperation.
