Reinvigorating U.S. leadership in the United Nations and other multilateral institutions is essential to addressing the most pressing challenges facing the United States, and the world. Under the previous administration, the U.S. withdrew or initiated withdrawal from the Paris Climate Agreement and multiple UN organizations, in addition to renouncing several other international treaty obligations and reducing financial support for multilateral bodies. Given the high stakes for the return of effective U.S. leadership at the United Nations, leading American think tanks, non-governmental organizations, and universities, alongside U.S. government policy practitioners, came together, on December 2 and 14, 2021, to assess initial progress of the Biden-Harris administration. They also considered near and medium-term recommended actions for the new administration, as well as steps to rebuild U.S.-UN relations and to renew U.S. leadership at the UN in key priority areas for U.S. foreign policy.
