The Summit of the Future: a Briefing

The Summit of the Future, scheduled for September 2024, is the culmination of five years of work to assess how the United Nations needs to change in order to fulfil its potential to deliver peace, security and sustainable development. It is likely to lead to new tools and structures, as well as set down important markers for the post-2030 development agenda. In short, it is a major moment, and one that offers interesting possibilities for libraries. This briefing sets out more about the background of the Summit, what it will include, why it matters for libraries, what we are calling for, and how you can get involved.
