United Nations

Summit of the Future

The proposal for a Summit of the Future originated in the Our Common Agenda report. The report was a response by the UN Secretary-General to a call from Member States for ideas on how better to respond to current and future challenges.

During the 79th UN General Assembly, the BIC organised or co-sponsored a number of activities and events.

The IEF is pleased to share those that were open to be participated in or followed at a distance.

To Heads of State and Government, United Nations Member States:

Excellencies,

In preparation for the UN Summit of the Future to consider UN reform in September 2024, the organisers invited civil society organisations to make verbal and written submissions on what they would like to see in the outcome document. The IEF made both a short verbal contribution on 13 December, and submitted the written proposals below in the format requested.

How would a Pact for the Future that adopts the proposals of the Secretary-General change our world?
