UN Future Summit hoped to be 'once-in-a-generation' opportunity despite key leaders missing

from Today in the EU · host Euractiv

World leaders are gathering in New York for the UN Summit of the Future, which UN Secretary-General António Guterres described as a "once-in-a-generation opportunity" to reshape international institutions, even though leaders of the so-called Permanent Five will be absent.With the Summit taking place just before the high-level week of the General Assembly, discussions are expected to be lively.However, given the vague language of the documents under discussion and the absence of key leaders of the P5 - the US, UK, France, China, and Russia - many question the possibility of meaningful reform or whether the UN's future can be reshaped at all.In this episode, host Giada Santana is joined by Brenda Mofya, head of Oxfam in New York, to explore the key takeaways, challenges, and hopes from the Summit of the Future.
