As an integral part of the Annual Meeting of the Academic Council on the UN System, from 20-22 June 2024 at UN University, three Global Policy Dialogue (GPD) sessions and a Closing Plenary Session are proposed on the theme of “Advancing Human Security through a New Global Economic Governance Architecture.” Globally, up to 677 million people were living in extreme poverty in 2022—almost 100 million more than in projections made before the combined crises of the pandemic, inflation, and the war in Ukraine. Moreover, at the halfway point of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, despite initial positive trends shortly after 2015, an assessment of the SDGs’ 140 targets shows that only 12 percent are on track to be met, almost 50 percent are moderately or severely off track, and 30 percent have either seen no progress or regressed below the 2015 baseline. To achieve human security for all, global economic governance innovations are urgently needed for more broad-based, green development.
Objectives:
- To convene leading policy researchers, practitioners, and advocates to debate and recommend specific global institutional, policy, legal, normative, and operational innovations that could inform the agenda—and help to raise the ambition—of the Sept. 2024 Summit of the Future.
- To make targeted recommendations for mobilizing support and operationalizing the Bridgetown Initiative for the Reform of the Global Financial Architecture and related ideas introduced in the UN Secretary-General’s Our Common Agenda and High-Level Advisory Board on Effective Multilateralism reports, as well as his International Financial Architecture Reforms policy brief.
- To expand the knowledge base for more capable global institutions to better cope with existing and emerging global economic challenges and to create new opportunities through effective global action, including with scholars, policy researchers and advocates, and the private sector.
