The new #multilateralism should be based on #globally-agreed-goals, notably the #ParisClimateAgreement, the #BiodiversityAgreement, and the #SustainableDevelopmentGoals. It should bring the new #cutting-edge-technologies, including #digital-connectivity and #artificial-intelligence, under the ambit of #international-law and #global-governance. It should #reinforce, #implement, and #build on the vital #agreements on #arms-control and #denuclearization. Finally, it should draw #strength from the ancient #wisdom of the great #religious and #philosophical traditions. There is a lot of work ahead to build the new multilateralism, yet the #future itself is at stake.
