UN Virtual Worlds Day 2025

Delivering on the Pact for the Future with AI-Powered Virtual Worlds


11-12 June 2025
Turin, Italy

On 11–12 June 2025, over 650 global leaders, innovators, and changemakers gathered at the UN Campus in Turin, Italy, to imagine a new digital future—one where AI-powered virtual worlds help us build inclusive, sustainable, and resilient societies.
Co-organized by a powerful coalition of UN agencies and partners—including ITU, ITCILO, FAO, UNECA, UNECE, UNECLAC, UNESCWA, UNFCCC, UN Guatemala, UN-Habitat, UNICC, UNICEF, UNRISD, UN Tourism, UNU, UN Futures Lab, World Bank, and WIPO—this landmark event explored how AI and immersive technologies are transforming public services, cities, and digital governance worldwide.
From high-level dialogues and interactive showcases to real-world project presentations, the 2nd UN Virtual Worlds Day spotlighted bold ideas and cutting-edge solutions that are shaping the delivery of the Pact for the Future and the Global Digital Compact.
The event concluded with two major milestones:

  • The launch of the Turin Call to Action, a collective push for inclusive and human-centred digital development.
  • The unveiling of the Citiverse Use Case Taxonomy—the world’s first global catalogue of AI and virtual world applications serving the public good.

Mark your calendars!

The 3rd UN Virtual Worlds Day will take place on 11–12 May 2026. Stay tuned for more opportunities to co-create the digital future we want.
