Happy 8th Anniversary! Championing the work of the United Nations Foundation, @unfoundation +SocialGood brings together a global network of changemakers and passionate communicators to create solutions for a better world in 2030.

In a world of rising tensions, the answer is not less cooperation. It is more. On the International Day of Multilateralism and Diplomacy for Peace, this is our call: come to the table, engage in good faith, and remember that working together is humanity's greatest strength. Peace is built together. Now more than ever.

Multilateralism must do more than inspire & make promises. It must deliver results, because results build trust that multilateral action can deliver solutions at scale & speed. Trust that nations can come together & act with common purpose. And trust that together we can make a real difference in the lives of people.

Deeply saddened by the passing of Ted Turner, a true friend of the United Nations. A pioneer whose historic generosity led to the founding of the @UNFoundation, helping to usher in a new era of public-private partnership in support of peace, dignity and sustainable development around the world. His legacy will continue to live on through the work of the UN Foundation and through the countless lives touched by his belief in the power of people coming together to build a better future for all. I extend my heartfelt condolences to his family, loved ones, and the staff and Board of the Foundation.
