The Pact for the Future
1. We, the Heads of State and Government, representing the peoples of the
world, have gathered at United Nations Headquarters to protect the needs and
interests of present and future generations through the actions in this Pact
for the Future.
2. We are at a time of profound global transformation. We are confronted by
rising catastrophic and existential risks, many caused by the choices we make.
Fellow human beings are enduring terrible suffering. If we do not change
course, we risk tipping into a future of persistent crisis and breakdown.
3. Yet this is also a moment of hope and opportunity. Global transformation is
a chance for renewal and progress grounded in our common humanity. Advances in
knowledge, science, technology and innovation could deliver a breakthrough to a
better and more sustainable future for all. The choice is ours.
4. We believe that there is a path to a brighter future for all of humanity,
including those living in poverty and vulnerable situations. Through the
actions we take today, we resolve to set ourselves on that path, striving for a
world that is safe, peaceful, just, equal, inclusive, sustainable and
prosperous, a world in which wellbeing, security and dignity and a healthy
planet are assured for all humanity.
5. This will require a recommitment to international cooperation based on
respect for international law, without which we can neither manage the risks
nor seize the opportunities that we face. This is not an option but a
necessity. Our challenges are deeply interconnected and far exceed the capacity
of any single State alone. They can only be addressed collectively, through
strong and sustained international cooperation guided by trust and solidarity
for the benefit of all and harnessing the power of those who can contribute
from all sectors and generations."
