The International Peace Institute in partnership with The Doha Forum, Stimson Center, Global Institute for Strategic Research are pleased to invite you to a policy forum o The Innovation Imperative: Technology and the Future of International Cooperation. The event will take place at IPI on September 26, 2024, from 10:30am to 12:00pm EDT. This policy forum, taking place during the high-level week of the opening of the UN General Assembly, will focus on the findings and recommendations of “The Future of International Cooperation Report 2024.” This report, written in partnership with The Doha Forum, Stimson Center, and the Global Institute for Strategic Research, offers reflections and insights, following the 2023 Doha Forum, as well as puts forward ideas and recommendations to help set the stage ahead of this year’s Doha Forum taking place on 7-8 December this year. The report addresses some of the most urgent questions of our time, including the question: What are the institutions and practices – globally, regionally, and nationally – that are required today to harness technology’s full potential for the benefit of all of humanity? Following the Summit of the Future, taking place in New York earlier the same week, this event provides the opportunity to discuss the second edition of “The Future of International Cooperation,” in which special consideration is given to how technology and its governance can best advance and safeguard (or, inversely, erode and preclude) fundamental global development and security goals, including the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the quest for sustainable peace. The report examines both the risks and promises of technology governance innovations for global development in the AI/cyber-tech, bio-tech, and green-tech spaces, and for global peace and security in the domains of AI/cyber-tech, weapons of mass destruction, and outer space. For policymakers, policy researchers, policy advocates, journalists, and the broader international community, the event will provide an opportunity for a dynamic exchange on the state-of-the-art, in terms of both thinking and practice for using technology as a force for good rather than ill. We hope you will join us for this timely event. Administrative Note:Because of the strict security relating to the opening of the United Nations General Assembly, you will need to arrive at 44th Street and 2nd Avenue (southeast corner checkpoint) by 10:20 AM and bring a photo ID and a copy of this invitation to enter the building if you do not currently have a valid UN ground pass.
