The world is facing an alarming education crisis. Without immediate action, over half of the upcoming youth generation – 825 million of the 1.6 billion young people in 2030 – will be left behind and shut out of opportunity through education, failing on the promise of SDG4.
The costs of this crisis – unemployment, poverty, inequality, instability – and the skills gap will stunt economic growth, with social, security and political repercussions.
The event will be a highlight of the UNGA calendar bringing together an unprecedented roster of world leaders to deliver a powerful call to action to close the global education financing gap.

03:30 PM - 04:15 PM (CR.4) Ministerial Meeting on the Implementation of the Mali Peace Agreement.
Two years after the signature of the peace agreement, when interim arrangements were foreseen to end and attention to be redirected towards preparations for the presidential elections of 2018, the peace process has fallen short of expectations, hampered by a lack of trust between signatory parties, the absence of a clear vision for the implementation of the agreement, as well as recurring clashes between signatory armed groups and deteriorating security situation in the north and the centre.
Building upon the Ministerial Meeting held on 23 September 2016, the event will aim at stressing the urgency of developing a strategy and clear timelines for the implementation of the institutional and security sector reforms envisioned by the agreement until the presidential elections of 2018.

05:15 PM - 06:45 PM (CR.4) Preventing Terrorist Use of the Internet.
Terrorist use of the internet to incite, inspire and direct terrorist and violent extremist acts is one of the most pressing issues that the global community currently faces. Working with international partners, industry and law enforcement, we need to make the online space a hostile environment for terrorists to operate and prevent the dissemination of terrorist and violent extremist propaganda online. A fundamental shift in the scale and nature of our response is required to match the evolving and cross-border nature of terrorists' use of the internet. This requires a global response – governments, multilateral bodies, Social Media Companies, and civil society all have a role to play.
[with PM May, PM Gentiloni and President Macron]
