UN Secretary-General António Guterres said, “I personally held 141 bilateral meetings. Throughout the week, I listened to the soundtrack of the state of our world. And despite the extraordinary challenges we face, I was encouraged.”
Speaking today (4 Oct) in New York at an informal meeting on the Our Common Agenda, Guterres said, “Without exception, leaders spoke of the importance of multilateral solutions. But leader after leader told me that our current multilateral institutions are not delivering - and called for reforms.”
He continued, “there was strong criticism of the mismatch between the institutions of global governance, and the economic and political realities of our world.”
Guterres added, “there was deep concern about the state of the planet and the climate we are leaving to young people and future generations. And there were repeated calls for new guidelines and guardrails for new technologies.”
He said, “in short, the common themes that emerged from High-Level week are the themes of Our Common Agenda.”
Guterres noted, “my policy brief on UN 2.0 sets out our plans to update our culture and skills across five areas - the quintet of change. Last month, I launched a new Scientific Advisory Board, connecting many of the world’s most eminent scientists and their networks with UN leaders.”
The UN Futures Lab, he said, “will leverage long-term foresight across the system. We are also increasing engagement with other important stakeholders, from civil society to parliamentarians and the private sector.”
The Secretary-General continued, “as part of these efforts, I will launch my Advisory Board on Local and Regional Governments in the coming days.”
He will also appoint a High-Level Advisory Body on Artificial Intelligence later this month, to provide recommendations on governance by the end of the year.
The Secretary-General concluded, “as part of these efforts, I will launch my Advisory Board on Local and Regional Governments in the coming days. I will also appoint a High-Level Advisory Body on Artificial Intelligence later this month, to provide recommendations on governance by the end of the year.”
Our Common Agenda is the Secretary-General's vision for the future of global cooperation. It calls for inclusive, networked, and effective multilateralism to better respond and deliver for the people and planet and to get the world back on track by turbocharging action on the Sustainable Development Goals.
