We can't build a future for our grandchildren with a system built for our grandparents.” @ANTÓNIO GUTERRES, United Nations Secretary-General New York, 2024 Summit of the Future 20-21 September — Action Days 22-23 September — Summit What is the Summit of the Future? The Summit is a high-level event, bringing world leaders together to forge a new international consensus on how we deliver a better present and safeguard the future. Effective global cooperation is increasingly critical to our survival but difficult to achieve in an atmosphere of mistrust, using outdated structures that no longer reflect today’s political and economic realities. This once-in-a-generation opportunity serves as a moment to mend eroded trust and demonstrate that international cooperation can effectively achieve agreed goals and tackle emerging threats and opportunities. In September, world leaders will convene at the United Nations to adopt the Pact for the Future, which will include a Global Digital Compact and a Declaration on Future Generations as annexes. https://lnkd.in/dr3kGwpc #sotf #ourcommonagenda #impactcoalitions #unhq #Newyork #peaceandsecurity #SustainableDevelopment #genderequality #globaldigitalcompact #education #financingfordevelopment #climatejustice #climatechange #global

Let’s pull together all our global stakeholders in the same direction to ensure a sustainable, safe and equitable society and protection of our planets future for the next generation. The summit for the future is a key political moment to realize this..

🎂 Today marks the 79th anniversary of the United Nations Charter’s entry into force. The Charter calls for the United Nations to maintain international peace and security, promote social progress and better standards of life, strengthen international law and promote human rights —challenges no country can tackle alone. Since 1945, its influence has extended beyond diplomacy. In 2015, the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development was adopted by all United Nations Member States, offering a framework for actionable change through the #SustainableDevelopmentGoals (SDGs). By providing a shared language for addressing systemic issues, adaptable to local realities while tracking global impact, #SDG ’s are a powerful framework to ensure a just, equitable, and sustainable world where no one is left behind. Yet, as we look towards the SDGs 2030 milestone, we must confront the reality: setbacks from the COVID-19 pandemic, climate disruptions, armed conflicts and deepening inequalities have setback many of the targets. The question is no longer whether we will reach the targets, but how - amid multiple global challenges - we can intensify our efforts, adapt strategies, and strengthen our collective innovative resolve in the years we have left to maintain a livable planet for all.

On 22-23 September, world leaders will gather in New York for the much-anticipated #SummitoftheFuture. At a time when effective global cooperation is increasingly critical for our survival, achieving it remains a challenge fueled by mistrust and outdated structures that no longer reflect today’s political and economic realities. The Summit’s main outcome will be an inter-governmental agreement – the Pact for the Future – featuring two annexes: a Global Digital Compact and a Declaration on Future Generations. In this piece for Friends of Europe, United Nations/UNDP Director in Brussels Camilla Brückner, outlines what makes the Pact for the Future transformative and #EU's role in moving the world towards a more inclusive, sustainable and fair global order. #UNGA European Commission

The outcome of the United Nations Summit of the Future that concluded earlier this week is summarized in an invigorating 🌏 “Pact for the Future” 🤝 agreement - https://lnkd.in/eis796DX    Why is it 🙌 invigorating? There are a number of points, but mainly because of two things: 1. It contains areas and issues on which agreements were not possible for decades and, equally important, 2. it also aims to “adapt international cooperation to the realities of today and the challenges of tomorrow” as well “to ensure that international institutions can deliver in the face of a world that has changed dramatically since they were created”.   A couple of statements that stand out to DrivingWhatMatters4ESG (DWM4ESG): 1. On sustainable development, climate and financing for development: “The entire Pact is designed to turbo-charge implementation of the #SustainableDevelopmentGoals.” 2. Overall: “We cannot create a future fit for our grandchildren with a system built by our grandparents.” (António Guterres, the UN Secretary-General)   As we continue to work to highlight Solutions that help accelerating one or several of the 17 #UNSDG, this Pact resonates strongly at DWM4ESG. We look forward to the advancement of its implementation to help strengthen needed Actions for a prosperous future for People & Planet – together we can!   Be positive 😃 - Be part of the 🌍 Solutions 💚!  

This is a dangerous system. Possible risks include damaging winds, heavy rainfall, storm surge, rough seas, mudslides, and flash flooding. Kirk continues to have a tight inner core, with deep convection wrapping around the center. The eye has continued to become more cloud filled, as shear increases over the system. The latest subjective and objective satellite intensity estimates have held mostly steady with this cycle, and the initial intensity is held at 120 mph (105 knots). Kirk continues to move northward and increase forward speed with an estimated motion of (005/17 knots) between a trough located over the west-central Atlantic and a subtropical ridge in the east Atlantic. Model track guidance remains tightly clustered, although there has been a slight shift southward as the system transitions and becomes post-tropical. The NHC forecast track shows the center of Kirk passing just to the north of the Azores on Monday as an extratropical cyclone, and then moving across the northeastern Atlantic and over western Europe by the middle of next week. The official NHC track forecast is very similar to the previous advisory, with a slight nudge southward towards the end of the period following the consensus model trends. Wind shear has started to increase over Kirk this afternoon (5 October), but the inner core has been able to remain intact. However, the environment will only continue to become more hostile as wind shear continues to increase, with drier mid-level air, and cooler sea surface temperatures. Therefore, steady weakening is forecast through early next week. The system should lose tropical characteristics and transition to a strong extratropical cyclone around 60 hours. The updated NHC intensity forecast is near the previous one in the near term, with a slightly faster rate of weakening in agreement with the latest HCCA and simple consensus aids. Forecaster Kelly.
