How and Why Should I Engage?
The 75th anniversary of the United Nations in 2021 came at a time when the whole world was confronting the shared threats of the COVID-19 pandemic and climate change, the risks and opportunities of technological advances, and stagnation on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG).
The UN Secretary-General responded with Our Common Agenda, calling for solidarity between people, countries and generations, and a corresponding renewal of the multilateral system to accelerate the implementation of existing commitments and fill gaps in global governance that have emerged since 2015.
The Secretary General proposed a Summit of the Future as an opportunity to take these steps, which could, if adopted, accelerate implementation of each of the Sustainable Development Goals.
The primary outcome document will be the Pact for the Future, annexed to which will be a Declaration on Future Generations and a Global Digital Compact.
