Happy New Year!
We are pleased to announce that in this new year UN2020 will officially be called 'Coalition for the UN We Need'.
And we have a new strategic plan that will guide us moving forward.

We will be gradually rolling out different elements of our new branding of the Coalition for the UN We Need over the coming weeks.
The new address for the website is c4unwn.org, although UN2020.org still works! You will notice changes on our website in the coming weeks as we reorganize to better reflect our new mission and vision.
Our social media handles on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn have changed to reflect our new identity.

UN75 Final Report
In January 2020, Secretary-General António Guterres launched the  yearlong UN75 initiative as an opportunity for the United Nations to listen to the people it serves. Through surveys and dialogues, more than 1.5 million people from all United Nations Member and Observer States shared their hopes and fears for the future, and discussed how all actors, including the UN, can work together to better address the global challenges we face.
The final report, Shaping Our Future Together: Listening to People's Priorities for the Future and Their Ideas for Action, is now available.

"We the Peoples: In conversation with the United Nations Secretary-General, António Guterres".
Sunday, January 10th, 2021
12pm to 1pm EST
As the world enters 2021, this virtual event - hosted by the UK Government in partnership with UN75 and Project Everyone - offers a powerful opportunity to communicate why the UN remains the best global forum to find solutions to the challenges we face – from the climate emergency to COVID-19, conflict – to a broad and diverse global audience. The event will also serve as a global commemoration of the UN’s 75th anniversary, with the UN returning – virtually – to London, where it held its first meetings in 1946. The UN Secretary-General will deliver his first major speech of the year as well as relay the findings of the global consultation carried out in 2020.
