LIVE: World leaders adopt pivotal UN Pact for the Future
World leaders are at UN Headquarters in New York this Sunday where world leaders have just adopted the Pact for the Future by consensus - with a small group of just seven countries holding out, having failed to pass a last-minute amendment. The centrepiece of the Summit of the Future is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to reimagine the multilateral system and steer humanity on a new course to meet existing commitments and solve long-term challenges. Watch the opening session here at UN Web TV, and UN News app users can follow our live coverage here.
