Summit of the Future: What's at Stake?

Description

The world is changing rapidly, and complex challenges such as climate change, conflict and increased polarization are creating cracks in our existing way of cooperating. Despite the fact that our societies are deeply interconnected, the gaps are increasing both within and between countries. As part of a monumental effort to reset global cooperation, the United Nations will host hundreds of world leaders, policymakers, experts, and advocates at the Summit of the Future in September this year. The ultimate goal: To rethink what multilateralism means in a rapidly changing world. How can we cooperate better to deliver on global agreements and goals for sustainable development? How do we better meet the needs of the present while also preparing for the challenges of the future? Tune in for a conversation ahead of the Summit of the Future in September and what's at stake together with: • Jan Eliasson, Diplomat and former Deputy Secretary-General of the United Nations • Bitanya Kassaye, Sweden's youth representative at the UN for sustainable development • Arvinn Gadgil, Director, UNDP Global Policy Center for Governance • Moderator: Stina Amnebjer, Sweden Lead, UNDP Nordic Office
