🌍🚨 Breaking News: The United Nations General Assembly has adopted the landmark Pact for the Future this morning, reaffirming a global commitment to multilateralism in 2024! And we are more than thrilled about #Action45, which highlights the vision of UN 2.0 | United Nations as key to achieving a more agile, responsive and resilient United Nations - to better support Member States and deliver on its mandates. It reads: “We underline the importance of the United Nations system remaining effective, efficient and impactful. We decide to: Achieve a more agile, responsive and resilient United Nations, in particular by enhancing the Organization’s capabilities in #innovation, #data analytics, #digital transformation, strategic #foresight and #behaviouralscience to better support Member States and deliver on its mandates.” In total, the Pact outlines 56 actions across sustainable development, peace, human rights, climate, and global governance – and is a milestone towards a better, greener, safer future. With a high number of Heads of State and Government, Ministers and more in attendance, interactive dialogues will now be held in the Trusteeship Council Chamber covering topics spanning global governance; turbocharging the 2030 agenda; international peace and security; bridging digital divides; and enhancing the global system for future generations.

Forward-thinking culture and cutting-edge skills for better UN system impact
About us
Halfway through the 2030 Agenda, the world is not on track to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. It is not too late to change course, if we all rethink, refocus, and recharge. “UN 2.0” encapsulates the Secretary-General's vision of a modern UN family, rejuvenated by a forward-thinking culture and empowered by cutting-edge skills for the twenty-first century – to turbocharge our support to people and planet. We will strive towards this vision with a powerful fusion of innovation, data, digital, foresight and behavioural science skills and culture – a combination of skills that we call the “Quintet of Change”. It is about transforming towards more agile, diverse, responsive, and impactful UN organizations. The Secretary-General’s policy brief, published in September 2023, outlines the journey ahead.
