about the summit of the future information clearinghouse
partners
The 2024 UN Summit of the Future (SOTF), called for by the Secretary-General (SG) in his 2021 Our Common Agenda report is a “once-in-a-generation opportunity to enhance cooperation on critical challenges and address gaps in global governance”. Recognizing the significance of this summit for the UN and all stakeholders involved, the Information Clearinghouse (ICH) Bulletin aims to monitor and report the intergovernmental negotiations leading up to the SOTF. The ICH Bulletins capture key elements and remarks made by the SG, Member States, NGOs and other stakeholders in UN General Assembly negotiations, policy briefs and other processes feeding into the development of the Pact for the Future – the key outcome document of the SOTF.
The SOTF Ministerial Meeting in September 2023 decided that the Pact for the Future will comprise a chapeau and the five chapters as mentioned below, with the Global Digital Compact and the Declaration on Future Generations included as annexes. For ease of navigation and access, the ICH Bulletins are organized in the same manner in this website along with a dedicated page for the SOTF Ministerial and Scope & Elements.
Chapter I. Sustainable development and financing for development;
Chapter II. International peace and security;
Chapter III. Science, technology and innovation and digital cooperation;
Chapter IV. Youth and future generations;
Chapter V. Transforming global governance
Annex 1. Global Digital Compact
Annex 2. Declaration on Future Generations
