UN75: The United Nations is running the largest ever global debate
To mark its 75th anniversary in 2020, the United Nations is igniting a people’s debate.
Launched by UN Secretary-General António Guterres, it promises to be the largest and furthest-reaching global conversation ever on building the future we want.
In a world of dramatic changes and complex challenges, from the climate crisis to population shifts to the unknown course of technology, we need collective action more than ever before.
Through UN75, the United Nations will encourage people to put their heads together to define how enhanced international cooperation can help realize a better world by 2045, the UN’s 100th birthday.
At this pivotal moment in history, UN75 asks three big questions: What kind of future do we want to create? Are we on track? What action is needed to bridge the gap?
Anyone can join the conversation. Online and offline, in formal and informal dialogues,
UN75 will involve as many people as possible. Together, they will share their hopes and fears, assess current and future risks and opportunities, and source solutions for global cooperation.
The survey is available in Georgian: https://un75.online/?lang=geo
