Description

The UN Global Pulse 2025 Report, Scaling What Works: Innovation for a Changing World, tells the story of a United Nations rising to meet an increasingly complex, polarised and resource-scarce world – not with more pilots, but with solutions built to last. 

As technology continues to reshape what’s possible, the case for scaling innovation has never been stronger.

For UN Global Pulse, 2025 was the year of turning that potential into practice.  People and the planet deserve a United Nations equipped with the tools to meet today’s challenges. Our mission is to make that a reality by investing in high-impact innovations and empowering the UN system to learn by doing.  

Together, we’re turning the UN 2.0 agenda into action. Read on to discover what transformation looks like in practice, for everyone, everywhere.

Read more about our impact in 2025, as well as insights from our partners across the UN system and beyond. If you’re interested in partnering with UN Global Pulse or have ideas on how we can collaborate, please reach out to us here.
