Q&A

GLOBAL LEADERSHIP FOR THE 21^ST CENTURY

15-16 DECEMBER 2020, PALAIS DES NATIONS, GENEVA

This conference will examine the results of a one-year joint

research project of the United Nations Office at Geneva and the

World Academy of Art and Science (WAAS) on catalytic

strategies to address the complex nexus of global leadership

challenges. It is based on findings of 16 working groups, a major

e-conference in June 2020, and several smaller events. More

than 70 partner organizations of the UN system, academia and

civil society and 400 experts have contributed to the project.

With the objective to develop forward-looking

recommendations for dynamic and efficient global leadership

strategies, the conference will include sessions on peace and

human security, economy and employment, health and food

security, environment, finance, education, civil society, the

media, youth networks, social movements, and integration of

research and implementation.
