Bracing for tomorrow: Perspectives on the UN Summit of the Future
In September 2024, the United Nations will convene the Summit of the Future on the theme ‘Multilateral Solutions for a Better Tomorrow.’ The event is described as a ‘a once-in-a-generation opportunity to enhance cooperation on critical challenges and address gaps in global governance, reaffirm existing commitments including to the SDGs and the UN Charter, and move towards a reinvigorated multilateral system that is better positioned to positively impact people’s lives’. But are multilateral institutions still capable of solving the world’s issues? This session gathering representatives from governments, international organizations and civil society will discuss the opportunities and challenges of next year’s Summit in the current context of geopolitical tensions. Panelists will also discuss what the necessary success factors would be to enhance collective action and address the most critical gaps in global governance.
