The Summit of the Future is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to enhance cooperation on critical challenges, address gaps in global governance, reaffirm existing commitments, and move towards a reinvigorated multilateral system that is better positioned to positively impact people’s lives. As we approach the Summit, UNU-CPR is developing and promoting solutions that Member States can adopt to address key challenges; identifying and working with a diverse community of thought leaders to shape conversations in the public space; and creating opportunities for strategic engagement both within and outside of UN communities.
