The World Needs a New Global Governance Architecture   

Join us on Tuesday March 4th as we welcome Augusto Claros-Lopez for a talk followed by a reception in the beautiful Faculty Club lounge (refreshments included in registration).

The contemporary crises faced by humanity require a new kind of international agreement. One which will prevent accelerating climate change from ruining the world for future generations, deescalate nationalisms which risk precipitating further global conflicts, and address economic and social inequities which undermine the basis of democracy and good governance. One which will remove the possibility of the use of nuclear weapons and place global security on international agreements securing freedom and democracy for all nations. This is a world which the UN, as currently constituted, with its decision-making capacities paralyzed by the veto powers of its permanent Security Council members, cannot achieve. If, as noted by UN Secretary-General Guterres, “global governance is stuck in time and we cannot effectively address problems as they are if institutions don't reflect the world at it is” then what should a new UN Charter look like, to modernize our global governance architecture and empower the UN to help us address the myriad global catastrophic risks which threaten our future?
