Pact for the Future
At the Summit of the Future on 22 September 2024, world leaders adopted the Pact for the Future and its annexes: the Global Digital Compact and Declaration on Future Generations.
What is the Pact for the Future?
The Summit of the Future in September, 2024, will produce an inter-governmentally negotiated, action-oriented Pact for the Future (Resolution ) with chapters on:
- Sustainable development and financing for development;
- International peace and security;
- Science, technology and innovation and digital cooperation;
- Youth and future generations; and
- Transforming global governance.
The Summit will also produce a global digital compact and a declaration on future generations (Resolution ) that will be annexed to the Pact.
The draft Pact under negotiation has the potential to promote a multilateral system that reflects the realities of today and that delivers for everyone, everywhere.
To support Member States, the Secretary-General provided proposals in 11 policy briefs, deepening ideas initially laid out in the Our Common Agenda report. Many of the policy brief proposals are under consideration in the negotiations, which are co-facilitated by Namibia and Germany (Pact), Zambia and Sweden (Digital), and Jamaica and the Netherlands (Future Generations).
