WHAT WE DO:
UNOG Global Leadership in the 21st Century
A joint initiative of the United Nations Office at Geneva and the World Academy of Art & Science to develop catalytic strategies for addressing the complex nexus of global leadership challenges.
WAAS@60 Conference and General Assembly
The World Academy of Art & Science (WAAS) was founded in 1960 by eminent intellectuals including Albert Einstein; Robert Oppenheimer, Father of Manhattan Project; Bertrand Russell, Joseph Needham, co-Founder of UNESCO; Lord Boyd Orr, first Director General of FAO; Brock Chisholm, first Director General of WHO and many others. The Academy serves as a forum for reflective scientists, artists, and scholars dedicated to addressing the pressing challenges confronting humanity today independent of political boundaries or limits, whether spiritual or physical — a forum where these problems can be discussed objectively, scientifically, globally, and free from vested interests or regional attachments to arrive at solutions that affirm universal human rights and serve the common good of all humanity.
Youth Leaders-21 Mobilizing Youth Networks and Social Movements
Humanity today is facing a moment of great uncertainty: as tensions between states increase, societies polarize and climate change unfolds its worse consequences, COVID-19 represents only the last and most evident symptom of a crisis that is occurring in the whole human system. More than ever it has become clear how our survival as humanity strongly depends on our capacity to implement the SDGs: but in order to realize the scope of Agenda 2030, a concerted action is needed.
