Summit Of The Future:
The UN Secretary General has said that the reform of Multilateral Development Banks (MDBs) will be a key theme at this year’s Summit of the Future.
- Summit of the Future is a high-level event, bringing world leaders together to forge a new international consensus on how we deliver a better present and safeguard the future.
- It serves as a moment to mend eroded trust and demonstrate that international cooperation can effectively tackle current challenges as well as those that have emerged in recent years or may yet be over the horizon.
- The high-level event will bring together UN Member States, UN agencies, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), civil society organizations (CSOs), academic institutions, the private sector and youth under the theme, ‘Summit of the Future: Multilateral Solutions for a Better Tomorrow’.
- It aims to build upon the Sustainable development Goal (SDG) Summit and deliver an action-oriented Pact for the Future to accelerate progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals.
- It will be achieved through an action-oriented outcome document called the Pact for the Future.
- UN Member States have agreed the Summit of the Future is centered around five key targets:
- Reaffirm the UN Charter
- Reinvigorate multilateralism
- Boost implementation of existing commitments
- Agree on solutions to new challenges
- Restore trust
