International cooperation and collective action are needed more than ever; yet our existing systems of global governance weren’t designed for the complex, interconnected, and rapidly-changing world in which we live. We must revitalize and reimagine multilateralism for the 21st century.
These videos are from the SDG Academy course Revitalizing Multilateralism for a Sustainable Future. This course was launched to prepare learners for the Summit of the Future in September 2024. Since then, we have continually added new content to reflect on the Summit's outcomes. Additional materials were added in October 2025 to address the Second World Summit for Social Development.
The course features recorded videos from the prestigious Global Classroom lecture series and other high-profile fora in which experts in global governance, finance, digital transformation, and more, discuss issues pertinent to the future of multilateralism.
