A New Global Agenda

Priorities, Practices, and Pathways of the International Community

About this book

A New Global Agenda: Priorities, Practices, and Pathways of the International Community explores the most compelling issues of our time, highlighting key strategies, initiatives, and calls to action. Taking up where the former annual series, A Global Agenda: Issues Before the U.N., left off, this book sets the work of the U.N. in the context of cross-sectoral perspectives and multi-stakeholder partnerships. To catalyze regenerative solutions for People, Society, and Planet, A New Global Agenda engages visionary thought leaders, advocates, and innovators spanning international policy, academia, private sector, and civil society. This is a must-read for scholars, students, practitioners and global citizens shaping our world today.

A New Global Agenda is edited by Diana Ayton-Shenker, editor and author of A Global Agenda: Current Issues Before the General Assembly of the United Nations (published with the United Nations Association; Rowman & Littlefield, 2002, and 2001 Editions). Ayton-Shenker is the Global Catalyst Senior Fellow at The New School, and CEO of Global Momenta.
