At the Summit of the Future, held on September 22, 2024, at the United Nations Headquarters in New York, heads of states adopted the Pact for the Future. The document was prepared and negotiated through a year-long process involving not only governments but also civil society.
The idea for the Summit of the Future was proposed by UN Secretary-General António Guterres in his September 2021 report, Our Common Agenda, which was based on the Declaration on the 75th Anniversary of the United Nations adopted by the UN General Assembly in 2020. Subsequently, the General Assembly passed Resolution A/RES/76/307 in 2022, deciding to hold the Summit of the Future in 2024 and adopt an action-oriented document entitled Pact for the Future.
