To help address these challenges, the Global Compact has developed a number of relevant tools and resources.More.

The Board meeting marked a significant governance change with the participation of the newly elected Chair of the Local Network Advisory Group as an ex officio Board member and a joint session with the Global Compact Government Group. Board members also participated in a high-level luncheon, attended by the UN Secretary-General and approximately 60 Government representatives, to discuss the contribution that business and the Global Compact can make to the post-2015 development agenda.
