The stage is set for the general debate of the 80th session of the United Nations General Assembly.
Opening under the theme Better together: 80 years and more for peace, development and human rights, this milestone session arrives amid rising global challenges and urgent calls for renewed multilateral action.
The high-level period kicks off on 22 September with a full day of summits and commemorations, including the 80th anniversary of the UN itself, an SDG Moment and marking 30 years since the Bejing world conference on women. Leaders will also take part in the high-level conference on the peaceful settlement of the question of Palestine and the implementation of the two-State solution.
From 23 to 29 September, global attention will turn to the iconic green marble podium in the General Assembly Hall, where presidents, prime ministers, and monarchs will deliver national statements, setting out visions for peace, development, human rights, and collective action amid mounting global challenges.
Also on the agenda are a biennial summit on financing for sustainable development, a Climate Summit, the launch of a Global Dialogue on AI Governance, the global response to noncommunicable diseases and mental health, and on the situation of the Rohingya Muslims and other minorities in Myanmar.
