The complex crises facing our world today necessitate a change in the way we do business. The Summit of the Future, its outcome document and its annexes if intergovernmentally agreed, aim to establish a new global consensus on how we deliver a better present and safeguard the future. As Member States finalize the parallel intergovernmental processes, I urge them to be bold and ambitious. #SummitOfTheFuture

What is the UN Summit of the Future?
The Summit of the Future: multilateral solutions for a better tomorrow will be hosted by the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) on 22-23 September 2024. The goal is to agree on a concise, action-orientated Outcome Document (“A Pact for the Future”) in advance by consensus through intergovernmental negotiations and endorsed by Heads of State/Government at the Summit.
With UNGA-resolution adopted on 8 September 2022 setting out the modalities for the Summit of the Future, further planning is to take place at the HLPF this July and the SDG Summit in September 2023.

Scope of the Summit
The General Assembly, reaffirming the Charter of the United Nations, and recalling its resolution 76/307 of 8 September 2022 on the modalities of the Summit of the Future, in which it decided that the Summit of the Future would adopt a concise, action-oriented outcome document entitled “A Pact for the Future”, agreed in advance by consensus through intergovernmental negotiations.

The aim of the Summit is twofold:
- accelerate efforts to meet our existing international commitments, and
- take concrete steps to respond to emerging challenges and opportunities.
This will be achieved through an action-oriented outcome document called the Pact for the Future.
The Pact will be negotiated and endorsed by countries in the lead-up to and during the Summit in September 2024.
The result will be a world – and an international system – that is better prepared to manage the challenges we face now and, in the future, for the sake of all humanity and for future generations.
