UN General Assembly 2025

The 80th session of the UN General Assembly (UNGA) opens on September 9, 2025. Two weeks later, High-Level General Debate kicks off Tuesday, September 23, 2025.

As the United Nations marks its 80th year, global leaders will convene in New York City to build consensus and confront complex global challenges. Eight decades after its establishment, the UN remains the only place on Earth where countries can gather to work through their differences and find common ground — shaping our shared future.

Join CIC and Pathfinders for expert commentary over the course of UNGA! These events cover topics such as access to justice, climate change, disarmament, poverty and inequality, ongoing conflicts, global health crises, and more.
