    GLOBAL LEADERSHIP FOR THE 21ST CENTURY 

    15-16 DECEMBER 2020, PALAIS DES NATIONS, GENEVA

    This conference will examine the results of a one-year joint

    research project of the United Nations Office at Geneva and the

    World Academy of Art and Science (WAAS) on catalytic

    strategies to address the complex nexus of global leadership

    challenges. It is based on findings of 16 working groups, a major

    e-conference in June 2020, and several smaller events. More

    than 70 partner organizations of the UN system, academia and

    civil society and 400 experts have contributed to the project.

    With the objective to develop forward-looking

    recommendations for dynamic and efficient global leadership

    strategies, the conference will include sessions on peace and

    human security, economy and employment, health and food

    security, environment, finance, education, civil society, the

    media, youth networks, social movements, and integration of

    research and implementation.
