Trust isn’t a sentiment, it’s operational infrastructure.
The Nairobi Declaration on Trust & Call to Action is live. 5 major moves to repair the global social contract:
1. Global Trust Facility: A @UNDP-administered fund to build national trust & digital infrastructure.
2. Regulatory Trust Index: Annual metric to eliminate duplicative compliance costs.
3. @UN Reform: Invoking @UN Charter Art. 109 for structural UN Security Council overhaul.
4. Measuring the "Trust Tax": @UNCTAD to study the commercial costs of global distrust.
5. Nairobi Trust Council: Permanent follow-up body hosted in Kenya.
From endless talk to binding accountability. Kenya leads the global charge. Read the full Nairobi Declaration here: globaltrustsummit.org/declar…

This year, we’re returning to the UN’s founding promises, promises that, eighty-one years on, deserve the chance to be renewed.
Add your voice: tell us what you would like to see from a renewed UN Charter.

That's a wrap on #UNGA81, where @Article109 was on the ground making the case for renewing the UN Charter.
We’re leaving New York encouraged. Encouraged because there is a growing recognition we need to move from rhetoric on reform, to actionable solutions.
