Unity around our shared principles and common goals is crucial and urgent. The Summit of the Future (September 2024) is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to enhance cooperation on critical challenges and address gaps in global governance.

In addition, the UN Secretary-General has released a New Agenda for Peace to feed into the UN Summit of the Future.
