The United Nations plans to hold the Future Summit in New York on September 22-23, 2024 to discuss new tactics for achieving the agenda of globalization.
“The Future Summit is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to strengthen cooperation on critical issues and address gaps in global governance,” the UN website explains, and also aims to “reaffirm existing commitments, including to the Sustainable Development Goals and the UN Charter, and move towards a more vibrant multilateral (globalist) system to positively impact people's lives.”
agenda
António Guterres, UN Secretary-General and former leader of the Portuguese Socialist Party and Socialist International, laid out 11 “potential areas of action” for the summit.
Among the aggressive goals of the Future Summit are a global pandemic and vaccine response and distribution plan, transforming education, and upgrading and expanding the United Nations, which leaders are calling “UN 2.0.”
On health, Guterres has called for the creation of an “Institute for the Future” that would “work with partners – governments, academia, civil society and the private sector – to publish regular reports on megatrends and catastrophic risks.” His institute would help the international community prepare for the next “public health emergency” and work to ensure countries “share vaccines equitably.”
The Future Summit has been forthright about its ambition to turn education into a weapon for pursuing global governance efforts: Action item 11 states, “Transform education: fundamentally change the way we see and treat education, including its purpose, learning environments, teaching profession, harnessing digital transformation, investing in education, and multilateral support for quality education for all.”
The UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs website further sheds light on hopes for the future of education that will be discussed at the summit, including proposed measures for “lifelong learning” for future generations of children.
Finally, Guterres has proposed a “UN upgrade” to achieve a “UN 2.0.” According to the socialist secretary-general's report, this includes “a more participatory and consultative approach, gender parity by 2028, re-establishment of the Secretary-General's Scientific Advisory Board, and a policy to put people at the heart of the UN system, taking into account age, gender and diversity.” Guterres also wants to pursue “improved youth participation” in the UN.
