Event

A new multilateralism. How are the UN and other global organizations adapting to a new world?

This event hosted by UK think tank Chatham House discusses the future of global institutions, including the United Nations.

At a time when global cooperation is under unprecedented strain, how can global institutions such as the United Nations remain relevant and effective in a world defined by competition, great power rivalries and rapid change? From climate to trade, the established multilateral system faces mounting challenges to its legitimacy and its ability to deliver collective solutions.

Join experts, including Rebeca Grynspan, Secretary-General of UNCTAD, for a conversation on how the UN can adapt to the realities of the 21st century and rival emerging global orders. From reforming global bodies and rebalancing representation to ensuring that trade, technology, and development serve all nations fairly, this session will explore what saving multilateralism really means in practice, and how the UN can evolve to meet the expectations of a new global era.
