The UN reforms we need: David Passarelli on hope, more science and less interference
UN Necessary’s hosts, Nudhara Yusuf and Daniel Perell, share reflections on the United Nations Civil Society Conference, which was held between May 9-10 in Nairobi, Kenya, and how it might pave the way for civil society to play a meaningful September 2024 Summit of the Future. The episode was recorded before the conference was held.
Dan and Nudhara then talk with David Passarelli, from the United Nations University Center for Policy Research, who recently helped prepare a key report to Secretary-General António Guterres ahead of the Summit of the Future. In this latest episode of UN Necessary, David shares insights from his work with the High-Level Advisory Board on Effective Multilateralism, emphasizing the need for reform in global finance, digital governance, and environmental policy, and the need to let science not politics drive policy. And the experiences that have given him hope.
