“Cooperation is vital to ensure a sustainable future for humanity, and that means having a multilateral system that is fit for purpose and reflects the world of 2025, not 1945.” - Juan Manuel Santos, Chair of The Elders
“Our world faces a perilous set of existential threats. No single country can address climate change, nuclear weapons, pandemics or AI on its own. Cooperation is vital to ensure a sustainable future for humanity, and that means having a multilateral system that is fit for purpose and reflects the world of 2025, not 1945. As Elders we do not claim to have all the answers, but we hope our paper can stimulate debate at the upcoming UNGA High-Level Week.” - Juan Manuel Santos, Chair of The Elders
Multilateralism is facing its greatest crisis since the Second World War.
But the answer is not to abandon global cooperation.
The UN and our multilateral institutions must be reformed. #UNGA
