4️⃣ Governance Architecture

📅 11 May 2023 - 15:00-17:00

🎯 Description:

The escalation in conflicts between countries, and within countries, is a sad reminder that current global governance architecture is being challenged. The institutions that have withheld the current world order are questioned, and the context of polycrisis has overwhelmed our sanitary, governance, and social systems. The current financial order does not work for lower-income countries that are in debt distress.

The UN Secretary General’s Common Agenda calls for the need to renew the social contract between Governments and their people and within societies. This renewed social contract, it is argued, originates at the subnational governments.

The Future Envisioning Exercise understands the call for rebuilding the governance architecture as the need to foster renewed impulse to well-resourced decentralization and subsidiarity and active and informed civic participation. Promote inclusive, participatory, responsible and accountable multilevel governance leading to global action. Protect and promote all public institutions, ensure the integrity of the justice system, and ensure equal access for all citizens.
