Summit of

the Future

Action Days

The Summit offers a once-in-a-generation opportunity for change.

It will pave a way to a better tomorrow that we can only shape together.

In support of this vision and objectives, the Summit of the Future Action Days were convened by the Secretary-General of the United Nations on 20 and 21 September 2024 at United Nations Headquarters in New York to generate additional opportunities for the engagement of all actors.

Bringing together representatives from Member States, civil society, private sector, academia, local and regional authorities, youth, and many more, the Action Days provided an opportunity for broad engagement and inclusion. These stakeholders have all played a key role in shaping the Pact for the Future and its annexes, and will be critical to implementation.

The Action Days kicked off with a dedicated, youth-led afternoon followed by a Saturday programme which focused on three priority themes – digital and technology, peace and security, and sustainable development and financing. In addition to the three themes, there was also a dedicated focus throughout the day on future generations. Participants included Heads of State, Ministers, senior UN officials and representatives from the private sector, civil society and other actors.
