Description
Book SynopsisOn the seventy-fifth anniversary of the United Nations, the world has faced its biggest shared test since the Second World War in the Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic. Yet while our welfare, and indeed the permanence of human life, depend on us working together, international cooperation has never been harder to achieve. This report answers a call from UN Member States to provide recommendations to advance our common agenda and to respond to current and future challenges. Its proposals are grounded in a renewal of the social contract, adapted to the challenges of this century, taking into account younger and future generations, complemented by a new global deal to better protect the global commons and deliver global public goods. Through a deepening of solidarity - at the national level, between generations, and in the multilateral system - Our Common Agenda provides a path forward to a greener, safer and better future
