Shaping Tomorrow, The UN Summit of the Future Demands Global Reform

The Summit of the Future’s Action Days in New York has brought world leaders, diplomats, and civil society and youth representatives together to confront the pressing challenges of today’s global landscape. The focus of Action Day 2, held on September 21, was on building a multilateral system that is more inclusive, representative, and effective in tackling the complexities of the modern world.

In his opening remarks, United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres emphasized the need for transformative reforms, particularly in global governance structures. “We need multilateralism that is more inclusive, more effective, and more networked – with stronger links between international institutions and with the people,” Guterres said, underscoring the importance of giving a stronger voice to developing countries.
