So it was a real pleasure to invite CEIP\u2019s Stewart Patrick back into the Virtual Studio to talk about this critical UN Summit \u2013 the Summit of the Future (SoTF). This Summit will take place this year on September 22nd -23rd. The effort leading to this Summit began with the 75th UN anniversary and the call for the Secretary General (SG) to prepare recommendations for the future. And he in turn prepared the Report - \u201cOur Common Agenda\u201d among many recommendations the SG proposed a Summit of the Future (SoTF). The General Assembly then decided that the SoTF\nwould take place in September 2024, building on the earlier Sustainable Development Goals summit in September 20203 \u2013 the \u2018SDG Summit\u2019. The outcome envisioned for the SoTF would be an intergovernmentally negotiated, action-oriented \u2018Pact for the Future\u2019.\n\nStewart Patrick is senior fellow and director of the Global Order and Institutions Program at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace (CEIP).
