UN75 Global Consultations

To mark its 75th anniversary in 2020, UN Secretary-General António Guterres announced that the UN is planning to host the biggest-ever global conversation on the role of global cooperation in building the future we want.

Throughout this year, UNA will engage its network of over 200 chapters and more than 20,000 members in the U.S. to conduct “Global Consultations” that will elevate policy recommendations to achieve a sustainable future by 2045. Our goal is to engage Americans in all 50 states.

Notes and recommendations from the Global Consultation will be provided to the United Nations and key decision makers within the public sector, including Members of Congress.
