Shaping our future together

The UN’s 75th anniversary in 2020 arrived at a time of great upheaval and peril.

If the world is to recover from COVID-19 and we are to deliver on our promises to future generations - to secure a world where everyone can thrive in peace, dignity and equality on a healthy planet – then 2021 must be the year we change gear.

We need a multilateral system that is inclusive, networked and effective. Member States have identified 12 areas of action that can only be addressed through reinvigorated multilateralism.

To achieve this we must think big. We need to reset the foundations and reaffirm the core values that underpin collective action.

The Secretary-General, as mandated by the General Assembly, will put forward his recommendations to advance our common agenda this September. His report will be a stepping stone towards a multilateralism system that better addresses current and future challenges.
