Upcoming Course on United Nations 2.0

The University of Chile’s Institute of International Studies is organizing an online course titled “United Nations 2.0: Global Challenges, Strategic Foresight, and the Pact for the Future,” scheduled from January 13 to 17, 2025, via Zoom.

This course, coordinated by Héctor Casanueva, Chile Node Chair, in collaboration with The Millennium Project, RIBER, and others, provides a unique opportunity to explore the outcomes of the Summit of the Future, held in September 2024 during the UN General Assembly. The summit introduced the Pact for the Future, a groundbreaking global agreement aimed at transforming the UN into a more inclusive, responsive, and effective organization for the 21st century. Participants will analyze the context and global challenges surrounding the pact, its focus on strategic foresight, and its implications for addressing critical global issues such as sustainable development, peace and security, digital innovation, and governance.

Designed for academics, professionals, diplomats, and individuals interested in international affairs, the course will feature a distinguished panel of experts, including Héctor Casanueva, Ibon Zugasti, Deputy Director and Spain Node Chair, and Javier Vitale, Argentina Sub-Node, among others. These specialists will guide participants through an in-depth examination of the UN’s evolving role and the feasibility of implementing the 56 actions outlined in the Pact for the Future.
