UN General Assembly puts wars, AI and climate on agenda
The United Nations General Assembly is meeting under a theme of restoring trust and managing transformation as leaders address a succession of global crises.
World leaders are meeting at the United Nations General Assembly with ongoing wars, artificial intelligence and climate change among the issues on the agenda.
This year’s stated theme is “Restoring trust, managing transformation: A United Nations that delivers for all”, placing institutional confidence and the management of change at the centre of the high-level gathering.
The high-level general debate is scheduled to run from 22 to 28 September, with nearly 130 heads of state and government expected to speak to the 193-member General Assembly.
UN Secretary-General António Guterres is expected to open the debate. The available agenda identifies the major issues under discussion but does not specify which conflicts, artificial intelligence proposals or climate measures will receive the greatest attention.
France 24 reported on the agenda as the assembly opened, but the material does not indicate that leaders have reached agreements or adopted decisions on the issues raised.
