  2. Review the impacts caused by COVID-19 and inflation. Develop demands and actions –  including for the People’s Vaccine within the context of the 2030 Agenda. Discuss the implementation of Agenda 2030 and the Paris Agreement and make recommendations.
  3. Bring the united voice of the Global People’s Assembly to the UNGA, governments and UN organisations
  4. Strengthen the cooperation between CSO networks for civil society actions and people’s movements

Event on Preparing for the Year Ahead: The 2023 SDG Summit & Summit of the Future – Intersections & Interlinkages

As part of the GPA, on September 22 from 9:00 to 10:00 am, this hybrid session will introduce the proposed Global Futures Forum as a key civil society event in early 2023, and will launch the collective drafting process of a civil society “People’s Pact for the Future,” to set out a range of ambitious proposals for strengthening global governance structures to deliver on the 2030 Agenda, further develop some of the best ideas featured in the Our Common Agenda report, and give special consideration to empowering civil society in international decision-making. The Global Futures Forum and closely related Regional Forums will also aim to feed diverse, intergenerational perspectives into the Summit of the Future, and support CSO advocacy and effective engagement in the Summit’s preparations. Regional and national partners will be invited to contribute to the development of the proposed Global Futures Forum and People’s Pact for the Future, and to identify pathways to amplify and implement their projects and advocacy strategies to feed into the preparations for both UN Summits. Building on the five Coalition for the UN We Need (C4UN) regional consultations undertaken in 2021 that discussed key priority issues for the Our Common Agenda report, this series of global, regional, and national follow-up meetings, beginning this September 2022, will bring together civil society partners to focus on key clusters of OCA recommendations to feed into the proposed Global Futures Forum in early 2023, as well as bringing critical and diverse civil society perspectives into preparations for the 2023 Summit of the Future and SDG Summit. Guiding Questions
  • Identifying synergies: What OCA proposals would you want to see reflected or modified in the Summit of the Future, including its proposed Pact for the Future and related global policy frameworks, that would complement the SDGs Summit and accelerate implementation of the 2030 Agenda?
  • What’s missing: What particular global governance proposals not mentioned in the OCA report – whether institutional, legal, normative or operational – should be included for consideration in the Summit of the Future that would also boost the SDG Summit?
  • Next steps: What participation modalities (e.g., for maximizing civil society participation) and intergovernmental outcomes would you recommend be adopted for the Summit of the Future and the SDG Summit that would complement and reinforce the synergies and interlinkages between the OCA and 2030 Agenda?
