The event provided critical perspectives on the future of multilateralism and its impact on global diplomacy, international cooperation and sustainable development.
UNCTAD Secretary-General Rebeca Grynspan was a key speaker at a 26 November event hosted by the Royal Institute of International Affairs (Chatham House), examining how global institutions are adapting to new dynamics in a rapidly changing world – from geopolitical realignments to shifting trade patterns, emerging technologies and mounting climate pressures.
A new multilateralism
From reforming global bodies and rebalancing representation to ensuring that trade, technology and development serve all nations fairly, the event explored what “a new multilateralism” means in practice – and how the UN can evolve to meet the expectations of a new global era.
The timely conversation offered critical perspectives on the future of multilateralism and its implications for global diplomacy, international cooperation and sustainable development.
Ms. Grynspan joined Sir Mark Lyall Grant, former Ambassador and Permanent Representative of the United Kingdom to the United Nations, for the discussion. The event was chaired by Dr. Samir Puri, director of Chatham House’s Centre for Global Governance and Security.
