Hosted by Coalition for the UN We Need, the Global Governance Innovation Network, and partners, this session will discuss how the 2024 Summit of the Future may best accelerate the implementation of the outcomes agreed at the SDG Summit by promoting effective UN reform for a stronger, more accountable and inclusive multilateral system.
This side event will present an Open Letter to World Leaders focused on seizing this once-in-a-generation opportunity to review and improve global tools for managing global challenges. It will feature the participation of communities with tremendous first hand experience including persons with disabilities and persons discriminated against based on work or descent, alongside youth representatives, leading scholars, UN diplomats, and former statespersons. It will encourage more ambitious, forward-looking thinking and deliberation on global governance renewal and innovation in the run-up to the Summit of the Future following the SDG Summit.
