Join the Global Futures Forum Coordination Ecosystem 

The United Nations Summit of the Future (SOTF) is proposed for September 2024 in New York to “advance ideas for governance arrangements in the areas of international concern mentioned in this report, and potentially others where arrangements are nascent or require updating.” This gathering will take place a year after the SDG Summit and the Ministerial Meeting on a Summit of the Future, scheduled for September 2023 and set to define the scope and ambition of the SOTF.  In order to ensure that diverse civil society perspectives are engaged in the preparatory process of the 2024 Summit of the Future and preceding 2023 SOTF Ministerial Forum to build the UN we need, a civil society-led Global Futures Forum (GFF) is proposed for Spring 2023 (tentatively March 20 – 21) in New York. The forum will comprise two days of discussions and action in a hybrid format to ensure global reach, preceded by multiple consultation tracks (e.g., regional & national forums, e-consultations, an open call for short global governance innovation briefs, and a monthly OCA dialogue series), immediately followed by a “Civil Society-UN Missions Engagement Day.” The proposed principal objectives of the Global Futures Forum include:

  1. Explore the design, feasibility, and potential impact of wide ranging proposals, from the unique vantage point of civil society, as a contribution to the Summit of the Future’s preparations.

  2. Finalize and widely socialize a “People’s Pact for the Future” (name to be determined), as a civil society declaration of both principles and advocacy to feed into the General Assembly’s negotiations on an intergovernmental Pact for the Future and related instruments for adoption at the September 2023 Ministerial Meeting and the 2024 Summit of the Future. 

  3. Raise awareness, build ownership, and mobilize energy around the promise of the Summit of the Future to deliver on an ambitious set of outcomes that reinforce and help to accelerate the achievement of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and Paris Climate Agreement.

  4. Model true partnership and creativity worldwide among civil society to ensure active and equal participation across age groups, geographic representation, professional disciplines, and other forms of global diversity.
