As we @nextpathwayslab continue to uncover paths to #prosperity and #peace, the need for 'a reformed multilateral system' is increasingly evident to address complex global challenges and ensure equitable representation of diverse voices in international decision-making processes

[UK at the UN 🇬🇧🇺🇳 @UKUN_NewYork]

"I am a committed multilateralist.”

“A reformed multilateral system is the path to peace and prosperity on a livable planet."

Why are the next 3 months critical for people, nature and climate?🌱

Decision-makers from nearly every country on the planet will attend a series of high-profile international summits between now and the end of the year. Together, they have an unprecedented opportunity to finally put the world on track for a livable future.
