Join us for the C4UN Town Hall dedicated to final CSO

well as other UNGA High-Level Week events.
C4UN Co-Chairs Dan Perell of the Baha'i International Community and
Florence Syevuo of the SDGs Kenya Forum will co-facilitate a
discussion to share the latest information, identify collective
needs, and strategize to ensure that our respective initiatives at
the Summit of the Future are complementary and synergistic,
recognizing that fostering partnerships and collaboration across
sectors and regions will strengthen the foundation for the Summit’s
ultimate success.
As the negotiations of the Pact for the Future and its annexes
conclude, developing independent benchmarks will be essential to help
monitor, track and implement the Pact’s actions and recommendations
post-September by Member States, the UN and civil society.

Summit of the Future Action
Day Side Event
Date: September 21, 11:15-12:30 EDT |
Location: In-Person - UNHQ New York, Conference Room 1 at the
United Nations HQ in New York (and webcast on UN Web TV)
Drawing on five years of experience and lessons learned
from the UN2020 campaign, the Global Futures Forum, a dozen Global
Policy Dialogues, regional thematic dialogues, the 2024 UN Civil
Society Conference (UNCSC) and the drafting of the People's Pact for
the Future, this event seeks to highlight major new initiatives in
the "Pact for the Future," the "Global Digital
Compact," and the "Declaration on Future Generations,"
and their potential areas for impact, implementation, monitoring, and
follow up. The event focuses on a 12-month timeline of what key
moments and actions will and should take place from now till the next
UNGA High-Level week, with an eye toward the proposed review at the
start of the 83rd GA session (September 2018). See further details here.

Date: 21 September 2024
Time: 11:15 - 12:30 PM
Location: Conference Room 7, UN Headquarters
in New York
As part of the UN Summit of the
Future Action Days, Oxfam International and partners will host a
critical panel session on "Reforming the UN Security Council for
an Equal and Sustainable Future." This event will address the
ongoing global conflicts rooted in inequality and political strife,
which continue to fuel humanitarian crises worldwide,
disproportionately affecting ordinary people.
This side event calls on Member States—particularly the permanent
members of the UN Security Council—to seize the Summit of the Future
as a “once-in-a-generation” opportunity to commit to bold and just
reforms. Panelists will discuss key policy recommendations drawn from
the Pact for the Future, the High-Level Advisory Board on Effective
Multilateralism, the People’s Pact for the Future, and Oxfam’s report
‘Vetoing Humanity.’

Date: 21 September 2024
Time: 1:00 - 2:15 PM
Location: Conference Room 6, UN Headquarters
in New York
This side event, held during the
Action Days of the Summit of the Future, will bring together Member
State representatives, UN officials and Civil Society actors to
craft a narrative of optimism grounded in the reality of today’s
challenges. Speakers will share what within the Pact for the Future
gives them hope and identify actionable steps with strong potential
to drive progress beyond the Summit.
By uniting around a shared vision of optimism, this event will seek
to catalyze meaningful action, fostering the commitment necessary to
build a future of peace and prosperity.
With hundreds of recommendations directed toward the Pact for the
Future, there is widespread consensus on the need for change.
However, the true measure of success lies in how effectively the
Summit can address the complex and growing risks facing our world.
