The United Nations Civil Society Conference is the premier event on the civil society calendar at the United Nations. The Conference, organized in Nairobi on May 2024, offered civil society organizations an opportunity to put a global perspective on a specific issue and brought together senior UN System officials, prominent international civil society organizations, youth changemakers, academia, public opinion makers, and international media to discuss issues of global concern. This international forum, which hosted more than 2000 participants, provided preliminary discussions and data ahead of the Summit of the Future in September 2024 at the UN Headquarters in New York.
In the framework of this Conference, FEPS organised the panel “Civil Society Recommendations on the 5 Chapters of the Pact for the Future, Declaration on Future Generations, and Global Digital Compact”. FEPS President Maria João Rodrigues presented insights from the book “A New Global Deal“.
