Can Technology help the UN meet the Challenges of the 21st Century?

Improving global governance
Dec 07, 2017 | United Networks, Tom Fletcher

The UN can deliver more for the global population it serves by 2020 if it takes advantage of the Networked Age and counters its growing threats. Tom Fletcher suggests in this report for United Networks that the UN Secretary General should position the UN as the spiritual home of global citizenship, coexistence and universal values. The UN should overhaul its web presence, improving search functions, user experience and rapid reaction; and create an online platform for policy debate, encouraging global citizens to share content and help address global challenges.
