Session Report

The first regular session of 2021 of the United Nations System Chief Executives Board for Coordination (CEB) was held on 4 May 2021. Owing to the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, the session could not be held in person. It was instead held entirely as a videoconference and scaled down from one and a half days to four hours, with the Secretary-General chairing from New York.

The session consisted of two segments, on the following themes: (a) the state of the world; and (b) addressing root causes of conflict. In the present summary, the main points of the session’s deliberations are highlighted.
