Global Perspectives On: Global Governance

How to Move the Outcomes of Global Summits Beyond Lip Service

Unless we have political will at the highest levels, clear implementation targets and accountability mechanisms, we will not move forward.

Global Perspectives On: Global Governance

October 31, 2024

online / Zoom

The recent Summit of the Future and Hamburg Sustainability Conference gained worldwide attention. But what concrete outcomes did these meetings actually deliver, and how can we transform well-sounding declarations into tangible, equitable progress? We addressed these issues and other matters in our digital dialogue, aiming to analyze key outcomes and limitations of the most recent international summits. Furthermore, we discussed how concrete steps to move from declaration to implementation could look like and examined how global governance systems can be made fit for today’s challenges.
