A UN report says, there has to be a major shift in global governance to better tackle such current and looming challenges as the climate crisis and rising security threats.<br />'' <br />''Launched by the UN's High-Level Advisory Board on Effective Multilateralism, A Breakthrough for People and Planet: Effective and Inclusive Global Governance for Today and the Future, outlines an ambitious plan to overhaul the global architecture.<br />'' <br />''Co-chaired by former President of Liberia, Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, and former Prime Minister of Sweden, Stefan Lofven, the Advisory Board was appointed by the UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres in 2022, tasked with advising Member States on issues of key global concern where better governance could make a difference.<br />'' <br />''Mr Lofven said that future generations will judge us by the decisions we take today. Multilateralism can work, but it must work better and faster, he added. The people-centered recommendations aim to strengthen international cooperation and support accelerated implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Paris Agreement (on climate change)."<br />'' <br />''Johnson Sirleaf agreed, that the report provides the framework that the UN, Member States, and others need to strengthen international cooperation for current and future generations," she said, noting that the report stemmed from a year-long engagement with hundreds of networks, organizations, and civil society groups committed to addressing global challenges.<br />'' <br />''The solutions they shared, will help current and future generations to avoid the catastrophic implications of our current trajectory and secure a more sustainable, just, and peaceful world for people and the planet, she said.<br />'' <br />''The recommendations include strengthening the global architecture for peace, security, and finance, delivering just transitions for climate and digitalization, and ensuring more equity and fairness in global decision-making.<br />'' <br />''The report also argues that gender equality needs to be at the heart of a reinvigorated multilateral system along with recommendations to ensure that system becomes more networked, more inclusive, and more effective.<br />'' <br />''<span style="color: #222222;">The report will inform ongoing deliberations leading up to the 2024 Summit of the Future, where Member States will consider ways to lay the foundations for more effective global cooperation.</span><br />
