“Envisaging the road ahead is important,” said the President of the UN General Assembly.
Addressing the Informal Interactive Dialogue on the Implementation of the Pact for the Future today (17 Jul), Philemon Yang, President of the General Assembly said, “To ensure that the 2028 review delivers actionable outcomes, early planning, aligned timelines, and clearly defined institutional responsibilities are essential.”
“The review must assess what has been achieved, while generating momentum for the next phase of implementation. Envisaging the road ahead is important.”
The President of the General Assembly is convening a series of informal dialogues to advance the implementation of the Pact for the Future.
The dialogues are being convened as a platform for Member States to exchange views, share best practices and ideas as they further implementation efforts and lay the groundwork necessary for the review of the Pact in 2028.
The Pact for the Future and its annexes emphasize the importance of advancing implementation through relevant mandated intergovernmental processes, where they exist. The High-Level review at the Heads of State and Government level in 2028 will assess the overall progress in implementing the Pact.
Guy Ryder, UN Under-Secretary-General for Policy, said, “Here we are, translating promise into action. This isn't just about institutional processes or bureaucratic frameworks. This is about whether we can look our children in the eye and say we did something meaningful with the opportunity we've been given”
He highlighted, “You, the Member States, own about 80 percent of the actions in this Pact. It's testament to the fact that real change happens at the national level, in your parliaments, your communities, your policies.”
Amandeep Singh Gill, UN Secretary-General’s Envoy on Technology, stressed, “The adoption of the Compact as the first annex to the Pact sent a clear message: Digital cooperation is urgent, necessary and now a key element of international relations.”
While implementation efforts of the Pact for the Future are underway, it is essential to lay the groundwork for the 2028 review and actions needed for its success. Situating ongoing efforts within the context of this high-level review will ensure that progress is both impactful, measurable and aligned with the Pact’s transformative vision.
The success of the 2028 review will depend on effective and timely implementation, reporting frameworks to assess progress and challenges and alignment with global agendas.
These factors will drive actionable outcomes from the Pact process and accelerate progress toward the SDGs as the 2030 deadline approaches.
