The United Nations is convening a four-day summit of Economists, Educationist, Administrators, Manufacturers, Researchers, Non-Governmental Organizations, Religious Leaders, Community Organizations and Individuals from the Public and Private Sector from 23-26 June 2009 in London (UK) to assess the worst global economic downturn since the Great Depression. The aim is to identify emergency and long-term responses to mitigate the impact of the crisis, especially on vulnerable populations, and initiate a needed dialogue on the transformation of the international financial architecture, taking into account the needs and concerns of all countries of the world.
The United Nations summit coming up in June was mandated at the Follow-up International Conference on Financing for Development, held in December 2008 in Doha, Qatar. Member States requested the General Assembly to organize the meeting “at the highest level”.
