- Team for Pact Implementation
Welcome to the April edition of the Pact for the Future newsletter.
Implementation continues to advance across the 麻豆APP system and through growing engagement with Member States, civil society and young people. Recent weeks have seen important discussions on translating the Pact for the Future’s commitments into practical action, from strengthening youth participation in decision-making to exploring reforms in global economic governance and advancing long-term thinking through the Declaration on Future Generations.
In this issue, we are pleased to share:
- The launch of the Core Principles for Meaningful Youth Participation, adopted to support stronger youth engagement across UN processes
- Highlights from DESA’s event on credit rating agencies and development financing
- Updates on recent engagements on Pact implementation and regional discussions in Asia and the Pacific
- An update from the Development Coordination Office on country-level implementation of Pact commitments
- Upcoming opportunities to engage, including a side event at the ECOSOC Youth Forum, the 2026 Financing for Development Forum, an event on the Pact and UN80 organized by the Office of the President of the General Assembly, the next meeting on Pact implementation organized by Namibia and Germany, and the 11th Multi-stakeholder Forum on Science, Technology and Innovation
Thank you for continuing to follow this work as we work to translate the Pact’s commitments into sustained action.
