Background

We are marking this year the 75th anniversary of the United Nations as we also commence a Decade of Action to deliver the SDGs by 2030. The Secretary-General’s intention is to rollout a global listening tour and make this as large and inclusive as possible.

At a time of what many have referred to as a ‘hinge moment in history’, a time of great transition and uncertainty, it is vital that we all work together to position our Organization as a platform for people everywhere to share their thoughts around current and emerging global trends . The Secretary-General would like to provide as many people as possible the chance to have a conversation with the United Nations. He wants them to share their hopes and fears with us, and for us to learn from their experiences. We hope that these conversations will spark ideas for building the future we want and the United Nations we need. We are launching surveys and dialogues around the world to do so. And we are giving a priority to the voices of young people.
