Between March 1 and 2, 2022, the Global Policy Dialogue on Global Governance Innovation: Beyond UN75 & Our Common Agenda took place in Washington, DC, USA. The event — an initiative of the Global Governance and Innovation Network — was organized by Plataforma CIPÓ, in partnership with the Stimson Center, Academic Council on the UN System (ACUNS), Leiden University, Robert Bosch Stiftung GmbH, Global Challenges Foundation, the Institute for Economics & Peace, and the Club de Madrid.
The event analysed the recommendations of the UN Secretary-General’s “Our Common Agenda” to move forward the 12 commitments of the UN75 Declaration, as well as debated specific institutional, political, legal, regulatory and operational innovations that could inform the agenda of the 2023 Summit of the Future.
The event brought together former heads of state, diplomats, researchers and representatives of civil society from different regions of the world to think of concrete ways to to strengthen global governance mechanisms to promote human rights, protect the environment, as well as prevent conflict and achieve peace.
The event also included a debate on the war in Ukraine led by four female leaders: Laura Chinchilla (former president of Costa Rica), Mary Robinson (former president of Ireland), Maria Fernanda Espinosa (former president of the UN General Assembly), Rosa Malango (Director of the United Nations Regional Commissions) and Nudhara Yousef (Stimson Center).
CIPÓ is one of the four founding organizations of the Global Governance and Innovation Network (GGIN), along with the Stimson Center, the Academic Council on the UN System (ACUNS) and the Leiden University. The event took place at the Stimson Center and Georgetown University in Washington, DC, USA.
