Stimson’s Global Governance Justice and Security is proud to announce the launch of its flagship Global Governance Innovation Report 2024: Advancing Human Security through a New Global Economic Governance Architecture.
About the Report
Since its introduction by Mahbub ul Haq in Human Development Report 1993, the powerful notion of human security has evolved, incorporating principles of justice while elevating nature and technology’s roles in safeguarding and enriching human life. Still, its original insight from over three decades ago holds true: secure nations require a sense of security, well-being, and belonging among their citizens too. But with only fifteen percent of the Sustainable Development Goals on track to be met by 2030, and as hundreds of millions face extreme poverty worldwide, human security seems out of reach for too many people. Against this challenging backdrop, global economic governance needs outside-the-box ideas supporting broad-based, greener development. This report, focusing on UN system-G20 economic coordination, financing for development, global monetary and fiscal policy, and “new frontiers” in governing global trade (including artificial intelligence, sustainability, and futures thinking), considers proactive global institutional, legal, policy, normative, and operational innovations to inform the agenda and help to raise ambitions of the Summit of the Future. Central to a strategy for achieving human security for all, GGIR’24 underscores the importance of skillful multilateral diplomacy and the recent formation of ImPact Coalitions—assembling expertise across civil society in partnership with champion governments—in the adoption of several far-reaching, high impact global governance reforms. Success also hinges on a robust, closely monitored follow-up effort to support the goals and commitments reached at the summit.
Report Launch
The report will be launched on June 18, 2024 online, and then in an event at the Academic Council on the UN System Annual Meeting at UN University, Tokyo on June 21, 2024. This will also be accompanied by a Global Policy Dialogue in support of the Summit of the Future on Advancing Human Security through a New Global Economic Governance Architecture.
