SUMMARY:Global challenges around conflict and climate-driven mobility
DESCRIPTION:Topic “Global challenges around conflict and climate-driven mobility; rethinking how we respond to today’s 71 million internally displaced persons”. \nRobert Piper (Australia) took up the position of Special Adviser to the UN Secretary-General on Solutions to Internal Displacement in mid-2022. \nIn this role\, Mr. Piper is responsible for coordinating the SG’s Action Agenda on Internal Displacement and to operationalize recommendations identified by the SG’s High-Level Panel on Internal Displacement. Working with a small Geneva-based team\, the Adviser will especially strengthen UN leadership on solutions to displacement\, through greater high-level Member State engagement\, stronger linkages to the development system (including the international financial institutions) and by driving greater collaboration across the full breadth of the UN system\, on the solutions agenda.

SUMMARY:The Relevance of the United Nations Today
DESCRIPTION:The United Nations is being accused of irrelevance because it couldn’t stop the Russian invasion of Ukraine. There may have been too little diplomatic vitality\, but the current neglect of peacebuilding by many countries must be recognised. \nThe most interesting question is how can the UN’s effectiveness be increased? That depends most centrally on the degree of Member State commitment. John will review major aspects of Australia’s highly uneven multilateral engagement since 1996. \nMulti-national interest in Security Council reform is growing. A dialogue within Australia would be a useful start\, which could lead to identification of organisational changes which would increase the Council’s effectiveness\, and which Australia could then advocate. \nAcknowledgement and thanks to Mr Peter Cain MLA\, Member for Ginninderra for being UNAA ACT’s venue sponsor. \nFor more information and tickets\, click here
