The UNESCO Future Forum was held on 2 March 2009 at UNESCO Headquarters to reflect on the ramifications of the present financial and economic crisis and their implications for international cooperation in general and in particular for UNESCO’s domains, namely education, the sciences, culture, communication and information.

The Forum was opened by the Director-General of UNESCO, and included an opening address by Ambassador Olabiyi Babalola Joseph YAÏ, Chairman of the Executive Board of UNESCO. It gathered more than 20 international experts and decision-makers on the theme: “The Global Financial and Economic Crisis: What Impact on Multilateralism and UNESCO?”.
The one-day event had three goals:
- Provide the Secretariat, Member States of UNESCO, media, NGOs and the public at large with a better understanding of the potential impact of the global financial and economic crisis on multilateralism and UNESCO
- Contribute to the sharpening of UNESCO’s approaches in a context of lower resource prospects and growing needs
- Underline UNESCO’s role as a laboratory of ideas and to enhance its visibility in this regard.
