Associated Press

UNITED NATIONS (AP) — The United Nations chief is urging the world’s divided nations to compromise and approve a blueprint to address global challenges from conflicts and climate change to artificial intelligence and reforming the U.N. and global financial institutions. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres told reporters Wednesday that discussions on the “Pact of the Future” are in their final stretch, and failure to reach the required consensus among all 193 U.N. member nations “would be tragic.” The pact has been criticized by some for its lack of vision but Guterres said it contains “potential breakthroughs” including on reforming the U.N. Security Council, governing new technologies including Artificial Intelligence, and financing for developing countries to achieve U..N. development goals by 2030.
