UNITED NATIONS—The United Nations General Assembly adopted a “Pact for the Future” on Sunday, which U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres described as a landmark agreement that is a “step-change towards more effective, inclusive, networked multilateralism.”
The pact, which also includes an annex on working toward a responsible and sustainable digital future, was adopted without a vote at the start of a two-day Summit of the Future. The agreement came after some nine months of negotiations.
“We are here to bring multilateralism back from the brink,” Guterres told the summit.
