The Global Engagement Summit is the largest annual gathering of UN supporters in the U.S., bringing together over 1,500 college students, young professionals, and community leaders from across the country for a day of dynamic and informative discussions on the most pressing issues facing the United Nations. The summit will be held Friday, March 27 at UN Headquarters in New York City.
To celebrate the UN’s 75th anniversary, UN Secretary-General António Guterres announced that the UN is hosting the largest global conversation on shaping the future we need—and they want to hear from you!
We’re encouraging our network of over 200 chapters and more than 20,000 members in the U.S. to conduct Global Consultations throughout the year 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 Consultations will be provided to the UN and key decision makers within the public sector, including Members of Congress.
Our planet faces complex challenges that no one nation can solve alone. That’s why the United Nations is the world’s best bet for a safe, healthy, and prosperous future. Tell Congress: Fully funding the United Nations supports American interests. We can’t afford to lose our seat at the table.
Take Action
“There are connections between us and people in other countries that are struggling, trying to fight for rights. What’s going on around the world has an impact on what’s going on here. We’re all interconnected.”
