Summit of the Future at UNGA

UN member states have adopted a PACT for the Future at the start of the organization's flagship Summit of the Future which opened in New York earlier today. The Pact, which includes a Global Digital Compact and a Declaration for Future generations seeks to reshape multilateral institutions to better respond to the complex challenges facing the international community from the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals, to reshaping global financial institutions and realigning the Peace and Security Architecture towards greater fairness and equity. President Cyril Ramaphosa welcomed the adoption of the PACT as her urged member states to forge a global consensus on how to implement the solutions embedded therein and ensure that the development divide is bridged.
