After years of pushing and despite a last minute push back from Argentina, the #G20 agrees on a global 2% wealth tax on the world’s 3,000 richest people. Has the potential to raise $250 billion on the world’s billionaires. Big win for Brazil. 🇧🇷 euronews.com/business/2024/…


Very grateful to @BlavatnikSchool and @thomasnhale for hosting this talk on The Forever Crisis. youtube.com/watch?v=_hoguD…


Over and over, I have noticed that smaller E10 members have a big impact in the #SecurityCouncil (see eg Ireland last year). @swiss_un is no exception: congrats on an important presidency.

FINAL gavel bang under #Switzerland’s October Security Council Presidency! Despite the difficult geopolitical situation, the #UNSC found its voice during this busy month. 🇨🇭notably put emphasis on: ➡️Prevention ➡️Innovation ➡️Transparency (1/3)



Hope to see you later today, link below.

🌎Coming up next week at the School: essential viewing for scholars, policymakers, NGOs and think tanks, and anyone with a keen interest in global governance and climate policy. In person or online. Further detail of all our events can be found here 👇 bsg.ox.ac.uk/events

After the Malian government kicked France and the UN peace operation out of Mali, many of us felt at a loss for what to do next. Here's an excellent idea (coincidentally from one of my former students @ColumbiaSIPA): atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/africaso…


What do ant colonies, underground mushrooms, and neurons have to do with stopping the next global crisis? Check out this chat with @UNOGLibrary about my new book, The Forever Crisis.

The latest #NextPagePod is a must-listen episode! We talk with @AdamDayGeneva @UNUCPR on why we need adaptive global governance for this era of complexity! Tune in now or download for the weekend 🎧➡️ bit.ly/3BRTbft

In honor of #GenevaPeaceWeek we offer some thoughts on what the Pact for the Future might mean for Geneva. Spoiler alert: we think it means a lot! unu.edu/cpr/blog-post/…. @UNUCPR


If you're in London at noon on 28 October and feeling angst about the state of the world, there is only one place to be: King's College London. kcl.ac.uk/events/the-for….


Come work with us in Geneva! Hiring a full-time position with @UNUCPR here. careers.unu.edu/o/research-ass…


Great decision by @antonioguterres appointing @TFletcher to lead @UNOCHA's work. I was lucky to see Tom in action when he was Amb. to Lebanon: he is dynamic, creative, can build the alliances for one of the toughest jobs in world. He'll need all Ten Survival Skills from his book!

Today, Secretary-General @antonioguterres appointed Tom Fletcher of the United Kingdom as Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator, @UNOCHA More: un.org/sg/en/content/…



Big moment at #HamburgSustainabilityConference today: Guy Ryder announces @antonioguterres' intention to appoint a Special Envoy for Future Generations.

Check out this thread by @ericagaston laying out some of the main "action points" from the Pact for the Future, and linking it to some of the empirical research we've been doing @UNUCPR

On Sunday, 193 Member States agreed on a #PactForTheFuture including 56 "action points" on climate change, global governance, Security Council reform, development, human rights & more. Scanned our @UNUCPR library, & here's what I found to help unpack some of those commitments:



Follow @SophiaKianni and get involved. This lawsuit against Greenpeace is a big deal.

🚨 emergency action for climate week 🚨



Just now: the General Assembly adopts by consensus the Pact for the Future, Declaration on Future Generations, and Global Digital Compact. As the SG just said, "time to get to work." un.org/en/summit-of-t…


Sometimes multilateralism seems complex and there are no easy answers. Here’s a straightforward one: #MadamSecretaryGeneral.

Images say more than a thousand words. That’s why @GWLvoices promotes two key campaigns: #MadamSecretaryGeneral and #Rotation4Equality at the Presidency of #UNGA. It is in the hands of Member States to move make it happen!



Turns out @latifnasser was right: everything and everyone is connected. No one talks about science in a more exciting and dynamic way than him. Feeling very lucky to have met him today at an event about trust in science, after years of obssessively listening to @Radiolab

Mohamed was a wonderful thinker and writer. His work on political violence, violent extremism, and statebuilding is a huge contribution to the world. He will be missed by all of us who learned from him.

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Professor Mohamed Mahmoud Ould Mohamedou, Deputy Director and Director of Executive Education. His memory and the impact he had on generations of students and on all of us will never fade. graduateinstitute.ch/communications…

This is a big moment and will be one of the top issues during the Summit of the Future. Would it solve the problem of UN Security Council members blocking action or misusing the veto? Absolutely not. Would it partially address a longstanding imbalance and unfairness? Absolutely.
