What happened
On September 21, 2026, a joint declaration was released in New York. Australia, Barbados, Brazil, Canada, the European Union, India, and Kenya signed the declaration. The signatories reaffirmed commitments to multilateralism and the United Nations Charter, while also restating support for the Paris Agreement.
Why it matters
The declaration noted that economic interdependence is increasingly used as a source of leverage. This leverage is disrupting trade, supply chains, investment, and development finance. The signatories called for stronger cooperation to address shared global challenges, including the triple planetary crisis and the rapid development of artificial intelligence.
The United Nations had previously hosted a conference on September 9th that was leading toward an agreement regarding the Paris Agreement.
