SUSTAINING THE AMBITION – DELIVERING CHANGE | EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 3 SUSTAINING THE AMBITION EXECUTIVE SUMMARY At the World Humanitarian Summit (WHS), Member States, humanitarian organizations, civil society, private sector partners and crisis-affected communities came together to launch an agenda for change. Together, they made more than 3,000 commitments to alleviate suffering, reduce risk and lessen vulnerability to the impacts of conflicts, natural disasters and climate change. These commitments were aligned with the five Core Responsibilities and twenty-four Transformations of the Agenda for Humanity – a bold agenda for change proposed by the United Nations Secretary-General, based on extensive consultations held around the world. Following the Summit, stakeholders were invited to self-report on the implementation of their commitments. Over the past three years, hundreds of stakeholders have documented their achievements on the online Platform for Action, Commitments and Transformation (PACT, available at www.agendaforhumanity.org), creating an invaluable record of progress, experiences and lessons learned. The Report of the Secretary-General on the outcomes of the World Humanitarian Summit (A/71/353) established PACT for a period of three to five years. 2019 – the third year of reporting since the Summit – will be the final year of self-reporting. In 2020, the follow-up process to the Summit will conclude.
