The Global Governance Innovation Project

Initiated by the Stimson Center, Institute for Economics & Peace, and Charney Research, in 2022, the Global Governance Innovation Project seeks to inform and advance debates on improving global governance, and to spur collective action by governments, civil society, the business community, and international organizations. Its three main components consist of an annual Global Governance Innovation Report, a Global Governance Index, and a Global Governance Survey.

Abstract

The world needs better ways to manage its many, growing problems. Engaging new voices, instruments, networks, knowledge, and structures is the key to coping with today’s and future global challenges, which include, but are not limited to, renewed Great Power tensions, deepening Global North-South divides, virulent nationalism, runway climate change, and unconstrained artificial intelligence. Against this backdrop, the inaugural Global Governance Innovation Report (GGIR) aims to inform and advance debates on improving global governance, and to spur action to that end, drawing on insights from two new tools: a Global Governance Index and a Global Governance Survey. Encouraging greater ambition in preparations for the September 2024 Summit of the Future in New York and a New Agenda for Peace, the report offers proactive measures to better prevent, and failing that, limit the escalation of deadly conflict; reconsiders disarmament measures to boost conditions for conflict management and resolution; and proposes a next generation humanitarian action architecture to save more lives when conflict prevention and mitigation fail. Central to a strategy for change, GGIR ’23 introduces five steps for mobilizing a broad-based, smart coalition of governments and civil society groups to maximize the generational opportunity afforded by next year’s Summit, to better ensure “the future we want and the United Nations we need” for present and future generations.

The report was featured in a panel at the Academic Council on the United Nations (ACUNS) Annual Meeting on Wed 21 June, 9.30-10.45 am EDT.
