World leaders, including Prime Minister Robinah Nabbanja assembled in New York last evening for the high-level “Summit of the Future “aimed at reinvigorating multilateralism and charting a blueprint for tackling existential threats ranging from climate change to AI-driven technological destruction.

The “Summit of the Future”, a prelude to the annual UN General Assembly, adopted a “Pact for the Future” which details action points to fortify international consensus and tackle numerous global crises to safeguard the future.
