Our forefathers, 80 years ago, created the United Nations to make a system of international laws immersed in multilateralism. We have a responsibility to promote multilateralism, which is the key to our human species’ safety and survival, indeed our sustainable development. True multilateralism is governing by cooperation, communications abiding by principles, ethics, reason of intent leveraged in international laws formed and implemented by United Nations Resolutions.
President of the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network
The United Nations Digital Currency Initiative Forum (UNDCIF) has been established to foster a collaborative environment where member states can exchange ideas, knowledge, experiences, and best practices regarding digital currency adoption.
This initiative serves as a curated forum to support the development of UN resolutions, standardize approaches, share technological advancements, and discuss regulatory ecosystems to facilitate the integration of sovereign digital currency platforms and exchanges
United Nations Digital Currency Initiative Forum Mission: Provide financial services, maintain data for all members to have access to secure, stable, interoperable digital financial ecosystem information and technology.
For decades, global monetary systems have been anchored in debt-based currencies, limiting the potential for inclusive, sustainable economic innovation.
At the same time, there are significant cybersecurity challenges that must be addressed to ensure these innovations are implemented in secure environments capable of delivering sustainable economic benefits.
The UNDCIF’s mission is to serve as a safe haven for dialogue, experimentation, and standard-setting in support of interoperability and multilateral resolution-building.
Today, the entrance of digital currencies presents a transformative opportunity to reimagine the paradigm. Within the UN, this moment offers member states a chance to lead the development of asset-based digital currencies that foster transparency, trust, and long-term value creation.
The UN stands as a neutral, collaborative platform to support this transition through dialogue, experimentation, and standard setting.
UNDCIF operates with the impartiality of the UN system and combines this with deep financial infrastructure expertise. Through high-level convenings, research, and dialogue, we help nations and ecosystems move from siloed pilots to scalable, interoperable systems
