As a Deputy Convenor and Principal Partner in this roundtable, we were honored to have collaborated alongside global leaders, policymakers, and experts to drive forward multilateral solutions for urgent global challenges. The Global Challenges Development UN Roundtable successfully brought together governments, international organizations, private sector leaders, and civil society to establish new models for collaboration, innovation, and impact-driven governance.
The roundtable facilitated a collaborative dialogue among global leaders, diplomats, and innovators, including representatives from United Nations agencies, academia, private industry, and civil society organizations. Thought leaders from groups such as One Earth, Nvidia, IEEE, Earth Law Center, and more contributed to shaping an actionable, scalable strategy for global problem-solving.
The Prime Minister of the Bahamas, in cooperation with an esteemed network of partners, played a key role in advancing this initiative.
