Pact Innovation Forum

Accelerating implementation and monitoring of the Pact for the Future through policy research, innovation, and partnerships.

“And beyond governments, stakeholder engagement continues to build through innovative platforms and global dialogues. Civil society actors and policy innovation networks, including the Global Governance Innovation Network, are contributing to implementation through research, practical policy proposals, monitoring, and inclusive dialogue that translate the Pact’s commitments into action.”

–Friday, February 27th 2026, H.E. Annalena Baerbock, 81st President of the General Assembly, “Delivering the Pact for the Future: Progress Made and the Way Forward”
