Urgent Measures: Reforming Global Institutions and Frameworks
Urgent Measures: Reforming Global Institutions and Frameworks
Global multilateral institutions no longer reflect the realities of the 21st century. The UN framework is being undermined by great power competition and there are wide-ranging calls for reforming multilateral development banks. Multilateralism 2.0 requires reform focused on transforming existing state-centric multilateral institutions into flexible, transnational multilateral frameworks, and building an inclusive multi-stakeholder governance system that can respond to contemporary challenges. This panel will present the position of the Think20’s Task Force 7 on reforms for specific multilateral institutions, as well as the innovations required for a new era of global governance.

Saving the SDGs: Seeking New Pathways to the 2030 Agenda
Saving the SDGs: Seeking New Pathways to the 2030 Agenda
As the world approaches the midpoint of the 2030 Agenda’s implementation, two trends are clear. First, a few nations are on track to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030, but most are not. Second, most global challenges have not been created by the Global South, but the latter is disproportionately affected by them. In the context of the ongoing mid-term review of the SDGs, there is a need to build institutional frameworks at both global and national levels to support the adoption of innovative policy solutions and practices aligned with the 2030 Agenda. This panel will discuss the principal recommendations of the Think20’s Task Force 6 about possible measures to accelerate efforts to achieve the SDGs.
