The 12-member board made up of global leaders, officials and experts is tasked with making concrete suggestions for more effective multilateral arrangements across a range of issues.
UN secretary-general Antonio Guterres announced the formation of the board in a statement to the media on Friday . Last September, Mr Guterres called for stronger governance of key issues of global concern in his report titled"Our Common Agenda", which laid out his vision on the future of global cooperation and on reinvigorating inclusive, networked, and effective multilateralism.
These areas include climate change and sustainable development beyond 2030; the international financial architecture; peace; outer space; the digital space; major risks; and the interests of future generations."I will ask the advisory board to identify global public goods and potentially other areas of common interest where governance improvements are most needed and propose options for how this could be achieved," Mr Guterres said in the report.
