Here’s the latest from the UN

This September, world leaders will come together for
the Summit of the Future at United Nations Head-
quarters in New York. The gathering represents a once-in
-a-generation opportunity to tackle some of the most
pressing challenges facing humanity.

The Summit comes at a time when the world is facing in-
creasing fragmentation. Across the globe, leaders are be-
ing called on to rebuild trust in multilateral institutions
and reinvigorate a sense of global solidarity.

From new approaches to peace, to a better digital world,
to reform of the global financial system, the high-level
Summit will seek to secure international consensus on
how leaders deliver a better present while also putting in
place the necessary framework to safeguard the future.

The envisioned outcome of the Summit will be the Pact for the Future, which is currently be-
ing negotiated, and expected to be endorsed by countries ahead of the Summit.
In the lead up to the Summit, UN Secretary-General António Guterres has stressed the
need to identify innovative ways to address the challenges of tomorrow.
“We can’t build a future for our grandchildren with a system built by our grandparents,” the Secretary-General said,
urging leaders to be courageous in their quest to find solutions.
