In this episode, Dr. Carole-Anne Sénit, a political scientist at the Copernicus Institute of Sustainable Development at Utrecht University, gives her take on whether civil society was able to shape the SDGs or whether participation was mostly symbolic; when and where civil society is most likely to influence negotiations and what that means for positioning before the post-2030 process begins. She also discusses what meaningful participation, not token consultation, looks like in practice. This conversation is part of a mini-series on the post-2030 agenda. It comes as Forus calls for a framework that defends what works, demands what is missing and declines what would make the next framework weaker. 📄 Read the Forus Post-2030 Vision: https://www.forus-international.org/en/campaign/forus-post-2030-vision #Post2030 #SDGs #CivilSociety #Democracy #GlobalSouth #ASpaceForUs
