📍866 UN Plaza, Suite 120 and on Zoom (hybrid)
Building on the recommendations of the Interim People’s Pact for the Future, the roundtable discussion enagged African diplomats and other civil society actors on their perspectives on the Summit of the Future, as it aligns to the aspirations of the 2030 Agenda and Agenda 2063. Therefore, the panel identified synergies and interlinkages between the AU Agenda 2063, UN SDGs and Our Common Agenda, and promoted the development of common positions between countries and among constituencies to ensure that the interests of the African people and that of the continent are considered at the SDG Summit, and the preparatory Ministerial Forum in September 2023 for the Summit of the Future In 2024.

The 2023 SDG Summit and the 2024 Summit of the Future
📆 Friday, 14 July 11:30 - 13:00 EDT

The “Summit of the Future” is scheduled for September 2024. Its aim is to reinforce the UN and global governance structures to better address old and new challenges. That includes making progress on implementing the SDGs by 2030. Join us and listen to short presentations on the two UN summits and how they could be mutually reinforcing. Use the Q&A to ask your questions about the 2023 SDG Summit and the 2024 Summit of the Future and how they are connected! We will do our best to answer them. Of course, your ideas and comments are also welcome! We are a group of independent experts who are working on the two summits, and we hope to make them meaningful in terms of accelerating the implementation of the SDGs.
