Following nine months of negotiations, world leaders have agreed on a landmark “Pact for the Future” at the UN General Assembly's Summit of the Future in New York.

The Pact consists of 56 Actions designed to "turbocharge" the SDGs, but in particular to speed progress on issues around peace and security, global governance, climate change, digital cooperation, human rights, gender, youth and future generations.

This comes amid mounting criticism over the United Nation’s its failures to stop wars and hold to account those who violate its charter. What can be done to make the organisation more relevant and effective on the global stage?

On this episode of Morning Shot, Thomas G Weiss, Presidential Professor Emeritus for Political Science, The City University of New York Graduate Center shares his insights.

The US Presidential Election will be decided just days ahead of the world's most important climate negotiations at COP29.

Democratic candidate and Vice President Kamala Harris and Republican candidate and former President Donald Trump have divergent views on major foreign policy issues, including climate change, immigration, and the Russia-Ukraine war.

But be it a Harris or Trump presidency, there is no doubt that the new president will face a host of foreign policy challenges.

On part two of a special two-part edition of Morning Shot, focusing on the US Presidential Election, Kal Raustiala, Promise Institute Distinguished Professor of Comparative and International Law at UCLA Law School and Director of the UCLA Ronald W. Burkle Center for International Relations shares his insights on how the outcome of the US Presidential Election will shape how the United States tackles global issues in the coming four years.
