*[Enwl-eng] The UN Secretary General wants to know...

[enwl]

                                Dear friends,
                                From the climate crisis to Covid-19, the 
challenges of our time don’t respect national borders – they are global. So 
our response to them must be too.

                                The United Nations has been the boldest and 
most visionary experiment in international cooperation in the history of 
humanity – but in some important ways it’s broken. Too remote. Lacking 
teeth. Dominated by too few powerful nations.

                                The UN Secretary General knows this, and has 
set up a major global consultation to gather public input on how to make the 
UN work better. It closes in days – so we’re asking Avaazers across the 
planet to take a very short survey on what we all want from the UN. Let’s 
all take it, and the results will be formally submitted to the UN reform 
process!




                                Take the Survey Now and Let’s Help Fix the 
UN
                                When it emerged from the wreckage of World 
War Two, the UN represented a giant step forward in how humanity was 
governed. And from responding to humanitarian crises to tackling the 
ecological emergency the UN has played a crucial role in shaping our world 
for the better.

                                But with humanity facing multiple urgent 
existential crises, it needs to evolve. Without highly-functioning global 
governance, it’s much harder, maybe impossible, to meet the challenges we 
face.

                                There are simple things that could help, 
like reforming decision-making, and securing a greater role for citizens to 
suggest policies and choose an excellent Secretary General to lead the UN. 
But to stand a chance to win them, we have to make our voices heard. Loud 
and clear.
                                Take the Survey Now and Let’s Help Fix the 
UN
                                Our global community shares many of the 
values of the UN – from our fierce defence of human rights to our deep 
commitment to securing a sustainable future for everyone. Now we have a 
chance to help shape the future of this crucial organisation – let’s take 
it!

                                With hope,

                                Nathan, Bert, Chris, Sarah, John, Pascal, 
Antonia and the rest of the Avaaz team
