United Nations Future Agenda: Challenges, Reform and Global Leadership

The Canada-Caribbean Institute recently collaborated with the The University of the West Indies Institute for International Relations to hold a Policy Panel on the United Nations Future Agenda: Challenges, Reform and Global Leadership. The recording of this discussion is now available.

Join us for a high‑level conversation on the future of the United Nations and the evolving landscape of global governance. This webinar brings together leading diplomats, scholars, and policy innovators to examine how the UN can adapt to rising geopolitical tensions, humanitarian crises, and the needs of Small Island Developing States and other vulnerable communities.

Our speakers—The Hon. Bob Rae, Philipp Schönrock, Dr. Abiodun Williams, Prof. Suzette Haughton, and Prof. Andy Knight—offer deep expertise in multilateralism, UN reform, conflict prevention, sustainable development, and regional security. Together, they will explore practical pathways for strengthening the UN’s capacity to respond to twenty‑first‑century challenges.
