UN Endorses ‘Shaping Global Governance, Climate and Nature’ project, 29th February 2024
The Global Foundation launched its ‘Shaping agreement on global governance, climate and nature‘ project on 29 February during Part Two of the ‘State of the World’ roundtable which featured UN Deputy Secretary-General, Ms Amina Mohammed and highlighted the urgent need for reform to the existing systems of global governance.
Led by Chairs Ms. Sharan Burrow AC and Dr. Mark Cutifani CBE, the Project’s Steering Committee includes a diverse group of global leaders and actors who are committed to mobilising international action and cooperation for substantial reform in global governance systems.
Underpinned by five core pillars—facts, social equity, resources, hope, and trust – the project will cultivate a collaborative global approach. Aiming to ensure that the initiative not only addresses the immediate challenges of climate and nature but also builds a resilient, equitable framework for future generations.
