We must Act Now for #OurCommonFuture
We are at a pivotal moment in history. The choices we make today will have a profound impact on current and future generations.
The Summit is an opportunity for world leaders to make tough choices – to pave the way for global peace and prosperity, restore our planet, promote digital transformation and protect human rights for #OurCommonFuture.
Addressing the closing session of the Summit following the adoption of the landmark Pact for the Future on Sunday, Philémon Yang, President of the 79th session of the General Assembly, expressed hope that the ideas exchanged would inspire further initiatives at national, regional and the global levels.
“As we close the Summit of the Future, I urge all Member States to continue to push for decisive action and to create meaningful progress,” he said.
He reminded delegates not to lose sight of ongoing global challenges like poverty, hunger, and the suffering of those caught in conflicts, violence, and deprivation.

The centrepiece of the Summit of the Future is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to reimagine the multilateral system and steer humanity on a new course to meet existing commitments and solve long-term challenges.
