In an era defined by global uncertainty and conflicts, with
pressing issues that require wisdom and unwavering will to tackle and steer
towards the wellbeing of humanity, Transforming the United Nations by
H.E. Dr. Talal Abu-Ghazaleh comes as a wake-up call to reform the global organisation
and place it on the right track towards the future to which the new generation
aspires.
Facing massive challenges, including climate change, rapid, almost
uncontrolled technological advancement, and alarming geopolitical fractures, the
United Nations stands at a crossroads. This book is a powerful and a masterful
blueprint presenting a makeover of world’s most important multilateral
institution.

his broad experience and deep insight drawn from decades of direct engagement

for serving humanity and his deep belief in the UN’s founding ideals.
With clarity, depth, and a set of impressively actionable ideas, Abu-Ghazaleh
lays out a bold vision for a new UN, to render it digitally enabled, and
well-connected with the grassroots across the globe, ensuring them a say in its
policymaking and a channel to freely reflect on its actions and programmes.
