un adopts ground breaking pact for the future to transform global

NEW YORK, 22 September — World leaders today adopted a Pact for the Future that includes a Global Digital Compact and a Declaration on Future Generations. This Pact is the culmination of an inclusive, years-long process to adapt international cooperation to the realities of today and the challenges of tomorrow. The most wide-ranging international agreement in many years, covering entirely new areas as well as issues on which agreement has not been possible in decades, the Pact aims above all to ensure that international... As the Secretary-General has said: “We cannot create a future fit for our grandchildren with a system built by our grandparents.” Overall, the agreement of the Pact is a strong statement of countries’ commitment to the United Nations, the international system and international law. Leaders set out a clear vision of an international system that can deliver on its promises, is more representative of today’s world, and draws on the energy and expertise of governments, civil society and...

“The Pact for the Future, the Global Digital Compact, and the Declaration on Future Generations open the door to new opportunities and untapped possibilities,” said the Secretary-General during his remarks at the opening of... The President of the General Assembly noted that the Pact would “lay the foundations for a sustainable, just, and peaceful global order – for all peoples and nations.” The Pact covers a broad range of issues including peace and security, sustainable development, climate change, digital cooperation, human rights, gender, youth and future generations, and the transformation of global governance. Key deliverables in the Pact include: On sustainable development, climate and financing for development At the Summit of the Future on 22 September 2024, world leaders adopted the Pact for the Future and its annexes: the Global Digital Compact and Declaration on Future Generations.

This historic agreement is the culmination of years of inclusive dialogue and collaboration aimed at modernizing international cooperation to address today’s realities and prepare for tomorrow’s challenges. The Pact for the Future is the most comprehensive international agreement in decades, covering entirely new areas while also resolving issues that have long stalled consensus. Its primary objective is to ensure that international institutions are equipped to navigate a world vastly different from the one in which they were created. As UN Secretary-General António Guterres observed, “We cannot create a future fit for our grandchildren with a system built by our grandparents.” The Pact reaffirms global commitment to the United Nations, the international system, and the principles of international law. It envisions a world where the international system delivers on its promises, reflects the diversity of today’s global landscape, and leverages the collective strength of governments, civil society, and other key partners.

“The Pact for the Future, together with the Global Digital Compact and the Declaration on Future Generations, unlocks new opportunities and untapped potential,” said Secretary-General Guterres during the Summit of the Future. The President of the General Assembly hailed the Pact as a foundation for “a sustainable, just, and peaceful global order – for all peoples and nations.” The Pact addresses a wide array of critical global issues, with commitments to: Today the General Assembly adopted the Pact for the Future, in which Heads of State and Government — representing the peoples of the world — made 56 pledges to action seeking to protect the... Nevertheless, at the outset of the meeting, the representative of the Russian Federation proposed an amendment (document A/79/L.3) to the Pact, stating that “no one is happy with this text”. That amendment proposed the addition of language relating to the United Nations’ intervention in “matters which are essentially within the domestic jurisdiction of any State” and to avoiding certain duplication of effort.

However, the representative of the Republic of the Congo, speaking for the African Group, underscored the need to show unity in finding solutions to today’s multiple, complex challenges. The adoption of such an amendment “is not going to help us meet our expectations”, he stressed, proposing a motion that no action be taken on the draft amendment. That motion was adopted by a recorded vote of 143 in favour to 7 against (Belarus, Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, Iran, Nicaragua, Russian Federation, Sudan, Syria), with 15 abstentions. The Assembly then adopted the resolution titled “The Pact for the Future” (document A/79/L.2) without a vote. In the Pact’s opening terms, the Assembly committed to bold, ambitious, accelerated, just and transformative actions to implement the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and to place the eradication of poverty at the centre... By other terms, world leaders pledged to close the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) financing gap in developing countries, to ensure that the multilateral trading system continues to be an engine for sustainable development and...

The Assembly also committed to reform the Security Council, recognizing the urgent need to make it more representative, inclusive, transparent, efficient, effective, democratic and accountable. The Pact also contains terms relating to gender equality and the empowerment of all women and girls, as well as a commitment to promote, protect and respect the human rights of all young people.
