We are commemorating the 75th anniversary of the United Nations at a time when the world is facing its greatest crisis of the century. The pandemic has ravaged our economies and social systems, with disproportionately severe impacts on the vulnerable and marginalized, undoing the diverse developmental work of the past decades. As we celebrate the 75th founding of the world's apex body and its charter, it is time to reassess and rebuild on its rich legacy to ensure that we are able to create a world that is representative of the aspirations laid out in the UN Charter, one that is just, equitable, resilient and sustainable. The webinar will be answering the following questions:
1) What are the critical issues that need the UN's focus and attention in the process of building back better?
2) Change is the only constant and to remain relevant all institutions need to evolve with the times. Can you please elaborate on how you think the UN and its processes are adapting to the new normal and leaving no one behind?
