📌 BACKGROUND
The Summit of the Future will take place 22-23 September in UNHQ New York, and is seen as an important moment to mend eroded trust and demonstrate that international cooperation can effectively tackle current challenges as well as those that have emerged in recent years or may be yet over the horizon. It aims to accelerate efforts to meet existing international commitments and take concrete steps to respond to emerging and opportunities. The Summit will adopt an intergovernmental-negotiated action oriented Pact for the Future, annexed with a Global Digital Compact and Declaration on Future Generations, which are meant to deliver multilateral solutions for a better tomorrow.
The 2024 UN Civil Society Conference in Support of the Summit of the Future to be held at the United Nations Office in Nairobi on 9-10 May under the title “Shaping a Future of Global and Sustainable Progress”, is the premier event in the civil society calendar at the United Nations ahead of the Summit of the Future later in 2024. Drawing on the history of the civil society’s presence in San Francisco at the founding of the United Nations, the Civil Society Conference in Nairobi is an opportunity to showcase civil society as an essential partner in this global endeavor to deliver a better present and safeguard the future of people and planet. This global civil-society convened, multistakeholder conference welcomes registered NGOs, academia, think tanks, Member States, media, private sector, change makers and leaders from diverse groups to increase awareness, ambition and accountability for the Summit of the Future, build multi-stakeholder ImPACT Coalitions to champion, act on and push forward big-ticket reforms proposed in consensus language of the Pact , and to innovate the way civil society and other stakeholders interact with intergovernmental processes.
The conference will result in an ImPACT for the Future outcome package that will articulate the three objectives of a conference that is inclusive, impactful and innovative.
📌 IMPACT COALITIONS
One key outcome of the Nairobi Civil Society Conference will be the formation (or coalescing) of a number of new (and existing) groups which can take various global governance reform proposals forward. These may take on a variety of forms: specific or general, achievable or aspirational, etc.
There may be some issues around which there is already enough support to form an "ImPACT Coalition". Others will be seeking to use the opportunity of the conference to create one. Regardless of where you stand, please fill out this form so we can begin to bring like-minded groups together both in issues that fall within the 5 Chapters of the "Pact for the Future" as well as around other themes that are found to be important.
