This September, world leaders will come together for the Summit of the Future at United Nations Headquarters 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 increasing fragmentation. Across the globe, leaders are being 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 being 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.

1moAs someone deeply concerned with the intertwined issues of climate change and rapid urbanization, I am hopeful that the upcoming Summit of the Future will catalyze essential global action. This gathering is a pivotal opportunity for leaders to address the urgent climate crisis and the challenges posed by urbanization, particularly in countries like India. Our cities are at the frontline of these crises. Climate change exacerbates vulnerabilities, while rapid urbanization increases energy demands and environmental degradation. The solutions lie in sustainable urban planning, renewable energy adoption, and resilient infrastructure. Equitable development and community engagement are crucial to reducing socioeconomic disparities and building resilience. The Summit's envisioned Pact for the Future must prioritize these integrated approaches, ensuring a livable and sustainable future for all. I urge leaders to seize this moment to rebuild trust in multilateral institutions and reinvigorate global solidarity. Stay updated on this critical journey by following the UN’s LinkedIn page and Secretary-General António Guterres' insights. Together, we can chart a course towards a resilient and equitable future.

1moThe problem with us is our ambition of making wealth, we forget that creating wealth without balancing its effects to our natural world it will read to its distractions. We should ask the whole world to consider starting with our family level, if you real love and care for the wellbeing of them, let's not do engage into any activities which shall result into distraction of the natural environment. Other wise you will leave them in hellworld. I total support his excellent UN secretary General for his efforts to let the whole be reminded on this.
