The United Nations will meet in September for the 79th session of the UN General Assembly, as well as the highly-anticipated "Summit of the Future" where nations will sign the so-called "Pact for the Future". The Pact is expected to call for declaring a "planetary emergency". What does this agreement and its policies mean for the future of individual and national sovereignty?

By the end of September, the United Nations member states may vote to radically alter the UN itself, what some are calling UN 2.0, and the very nature of how nation-states make decisions regarding the future of the planet. The UN will convene for the 79th session of the General Assembly in New York City starting on September 10th in New York City. The high-level general debate will begin on the 24th of September.

Although the UNGA is an annual meeting, this year's gathering will be unique because of the addition of the Summit o the Future, a UN sponsored event taking place in NYC on the 22nd and 23rd of September. The summit has been in the making since at least 2022. It is the latest attempt by UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres to "rally the troops", and garner more support for a rapid completion of the Agenda 2030 goals set by the UN in 2015.
