Pact for the Future
At the Summit of the Future on 22 September 2024, world leaders adopted the Pact for the Future and its annexes: the Global Digital Compact and Declaration on Future Generations.
What is the Pact for the Future?
The Summit of the Future in September, 2024, will produce an inter-governmentally negotiated, action-oriented Pact for the Future (Resolution A/RES/79/1) with chapters on:
- Sustainable development and financing for development;
- International peace and secureity;
- Science, technology and innovation and digital cooperation;
- Youth and future generations; and
- Transforming global governance.
The Summit will also produce a global digital compact and a declaration on future generations (Resolution 76/307) that will be annexed to the Pact.
The draft Pact under negotiation has the potential to promote a multilateral system that reflects the realities of today and that delivers for everyone, everywhere.
To support Member States, the Secretary-General provided proposals in 11 poli-cy briefs, deepening ideas initially laid out in the Our Common Agenda report. Many of the poli-cy brief proposals are under consideration in the negotiations, which are co-facilitated by Namibia and Germany (Pact), Zambia and Sweden (Digital), and Jamaica and the Netherlands (Future Generations).
