The world is changing, fast. Our institutions are all struggling to keep up, and the UN is struggling more than most. As UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres warned, “We can’t build a future for our children with a system built for our grandparents.” Updating our institutions is critical, but so is the need to find a way to foster global cooperation at a time when trust and cooperation on the world stage are a rarity. The UN Summit of the Future is laser focused on encouraging cooperation and joint commitments, but will it be enough?

This year's annual UNGA special edition explores these themes, with essays from leaders across sectors.
