Description

In a world facing rapid change and uncertainty, our 2024 Annual Report showcases how UN Global Pulse is driving transformation across the United Nations. This report isn’t just about our activities this past year, but also about how we’re working to achieve the Secretary-General’s vision of a UN 2.0 – one that is fit for 21st-century challenges.

UN Global Pulse serves the UN system as a centre of excellence for innovation, supporting this UN 2.0 journey. Over the past year, we have helped equip UN entities with the tools, knowledge and leadership required to navigate this unprecedented era.

From cutting-edge applications of AI in disaster response to integrating anticipatory thinking into UN planning processes and supporting community-driven solutions to climate change, scaling solutions has become a central part of our approach. Our projects go beyond pilots – they are blueprints for change,
shaping how the UN can work smarter, faster and more effectively.

Our 2024 report highlights our milestones in supporting the UN 2.0 agenda. It showcases key projects, system impact and insights from our work that support the UN’s transformation. As we mark the 80th anniversary of the United Nations in 2025, the urgency for change has never been greater.
