UN reform to make the international organization more future-oriented was assessed by 189 futurists and related international experts from 54 countries. They overwhelmingly endorsed and will support the five foresight elements of Our Common Agenda<\/em>, as an integrated and interdependent system: the success of each one affects the success of all the others. The five elements are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022             UN Futures Lab<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022             UN Summit on the Future<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022             UN Envoy for Future Generations<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022             Periodic UN Strategic Foresight and Global Threats reports<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022             Re-purposed UN Trusteeship Council as a Multi-Stakeholder Foresight Body<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2026Humanity faces a stark and urgent choice: a breakdown or a breakthrough,\u201d says UN Secretary-General Ant\u00f3nio Guterres.\u201d  Our Common Agenda<\/em> details how the UN can play its part in creating breakthroughs and preventing breakdowns. It is expected to be discussed at the UN General Assembly annual meeting next month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the five foresight elements in Our Common Agenda<\/em> are implemented along the lines of our study, it could be the greatest advance for futures research and foresight in history,\u201d says Jerome C. Glenn, CEO of The Millennium Project. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
