The Geneva Graduate Institute is pleased to invite you to the launch event of the 2025 edition of the Geneva Policy Outlook, a publication produced in partnership with the Republic and State of Geneva, the City of Geneva and the Fondation pour Genève.
In 2025, Geneva could strengthen its unique position to redefine global cooperation and pioneer the next generation of multilateral diplomacy. However, it needs to go beyond business as usual and seize the moment for change. The Geneva Policy Outlook 2025 calls for a “Multilateralism 2.0” grounded in sober judgment and a new agenda for sustainability. It also features many courageous ideas and practices across 13 articles in English, French and German that can help Geneva stay relevant as a global hub for diplomacy and international cooperation.
This event will launch the GPO25 and offer an opportunity to discuss how Geneva should face the political and financial pressures on multilateralism, and what concrete opportunities are there to seize for a Multilateralism 2.0.
