QUITO/MADRID ¨C Great-power competition, the troubling rise of xenophobic nationalism, existential environmental threats and the ongoing COVID-19 onslaught present major global governance challenges.
Against this backdrop, world leaders have tasked United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres with recommending steps to advance the far-reaching commitments contained in last year¡¯s so-called UN75 Declaration, in which the General Assembly pledged to ensure ¡°the future we want.¡±
The secretary-general¡¯s much-anticipated report, ¡°Our Common Agenda,¡± is due this September and it would benefit from a follow-through vehicle to weigh the report¡¯s recommendations and deliberate on and adopt his best ideas. We therefore support the proposal for a World Summit on Inclusive Global Governance involving a wide range of participants.
