Shaping renewed multilateralism – UN Geneva’s 2021 Annual Report – is available now. It highlights the work of UN Geneva in yet another turbulent year.
The world is facing many interrelated problems, including armed conflicts, humanitarian emergencies, economic shocks, climate change, and a pandemic. Global challenges of this magnitude require global solutions.
Multilateralism, however, is under fire, just when it is needed most. It is clear we need a new multilateralism that responds to today’s evolving needs.
To help shape this renewed multilateralism, in 2021, UN Geneva focused on becoming more modern, inclusive, and innovative.
The completion of important phases of the Strategic Heritage Plan encouraged new, more collaborative ways of working.
Our embrace of technology enabled greater participation and engagement in multilateralism by our diverse stakeholders.
We also navigated the evolving epidemiological situation in order to deliver our mandates to Member States while ensuring the safety and well-being of all.
In addition, we continued to put the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development at the forefront of our work, developing new partnerships and further incorporating sustainability into our projects.
These activities, and more, are outlined in the 2021 Annual Report. The report also contains a special insert of children’s drawings: Draw a better future together.
Both the report and the insert are available in English and French on the UN Geneva website.
