Rethink, Reset, Deliver Better with Data and AI



 

 As the United Nations turns 80, the stakes are high. Climate shocks, conflict, and economic instability are driving more communities into crisis, while progress on the Sustainable Development Goals is under threat. At the same time, the humanitarian system is resetting to deliver earlier, faster, and better for people in need.

Building on this momentum, the Complex Risk Analytics Fund (CRAF'd), whose broadcast last year reached over 2.5 million viewers, will convene global leaders, thought leaders, policymakers, technologists, and frontline partners for a UN-hosted live event during the United Nations General Assembly High-level Week. The event will examine how smarter use of data and technology, supported by renewed coherence and efficiency, can unlock new solutions to global challenges.

Key Themes

UN80 and the Humanitarian Compact: How a renewed multilateral system can link humanitarian response with sustainable development.
Data, analytics, and AI for crisis action: How emerging technologies can help anticipate risks, unlock funding, and strengthen delivery on the ground.
From data to development: How investments in data and digital public goods can power both immediate response and long-term resilience.

Confirmed Speakers

Guy Ryder, Under-Secretary-General for Policy, United Nations
Tom Fletcher, Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs & Emergency Relief Coordinator, OCHA, United Nations
Ugochi Daniels, Deputy Director General for Operations, IOM
Dr. Comfort Ero, President & CEO, International Crisis Group
Gunn Jorid Roset, Director General, Norad
Dr. Ahmed Ogwell, President & CEO, VillageReach

Celebrate democracy as a living force for agency, hope, and cooperation.

Rooted in the principle of "We the Peoples," this event will celebrate democracy as a living force for agency, hope, and cooperation. Democracy draws its strength from people: their voices, their choices, and their participation in shaping society. It flourishes when rights are protected, particularly for those most often left behind. In an era of shrinking civic space and rising disinformation , building trust, dialogue, and shared decision-making is more urgent than ever.
