Background

The current global order is under large scale transformation: existential challenges emerging for the entire humankind, competing global strategies between great powers, fragilities of the multilateral system and powerful disturbing triggers such as the Ukrainian war. A United Nations (UN) Summit for the Future to adopt a Pact for the Future with commitments about policy goals and solutions to deliver them, is to be convened by the UN Secretary General to take place in September 2024.

A preparatory process was launched counting on a High-Level Board of personalities from all continents and of a plethora of contributions coming from Member States, regional organizations, civil society, and academia. In addition, think thanks around the world, such as the Washington D.C. based Stimson Center specializing in global governance, are preparing ground-breaking research for reforming the multilateral system to support the process leading to the UN Summit of the Future. The Stimson Center’s report, Road to 2023: Our Common Agenda and the Pact for the Future, shows how a close coupling of justice and security imperatives can best drive the work needed to deal with critical global problems, underscoring twenty key ideas in support of effective multilateralism.

Watch this presentation of the Stimson Report to embark into the important discussion on a New Global Governance and a Pact for the Future.
