THEMATIC PILLARS
The UN75 Global Governance Forum is organized around FOUR THEMATIC PILLARS:
TWO TRACKS
(Invite only)
Partnerships Track
Across the forum’s four pillars (peace and security, sustainable development, human rights and humanitarian action, and climate governance), plenary presentations and breakout groups will explore new kinds of multi-stakeholder partnerships composed of UN system departments/agencies, states, the private sector, philanthropists, and broader civil society groups from all regions.
While the forum’s Day 1 will focus on the formulation of pre-vetted partnerships to achieve specific outcomes, Day 2 will seek to nurture the development of 15 to 20 new multi-stakeholder partnerships to advance the mission of the United Nations across its main pillars of action.
The partnerships will be drawn from various stages of development. Each partnership will represent an opportunity to be scaled and replicated in the future. Each of the partnerships showcased will be presented to the UN 75 Leaders Summit, planned for 21 September, in New York.
Innovation Track
Held from August 3rd – 30th and building on preceding online and in-person global and regional policy dialogues and an e-consultation, this track will build consensus on and devise a reform strategy for a select number (i.e., no more than 10 to 15) of “Global Governance Institutional, Policy, and Normative Innovations for UN75 & Beyond” that both complement and improve the conditions for effective multi-stakeholder partnerships promoted in Partnerships Track. The Webinar series includes Global Economic Governance & Sustainable Development (Aug. 5th from 10:30 am – 11:45 am EST); Peace & Security (Aug. 12th); Human Rights, Humanitarian Action & Inclusive Governance (Aug. 19th); and Climate Governance (Aug. 26th).
The proposed innovations will also aim to further develop and go beyond official UN75 Declaration commitments.
