Co-organised by Forus. Side event at the Summit of the Future to review and refine global civil society contributions to the UNMute Manual, highlighting best practices and strategies for inclusive global governance.

Friday, 20 September 2024, at 15:00-16:15 EDT – UTC/GMT -4 hours
Room CR5, United Nations Headquarters, New York.

Background

Endorsed by 52 member states and 327 civil society members, the 2021 UN document A/75/893 underscored the importance of civil society in addressing global challenges. As the global community meets at the Summit of the Future to develop a new international consensus for sustainability, the UNMute Initiative introduces its “How to UNMute Manual.” This manual, crafted from insights gained at the Nairobi Conference and global consultations, offers clear, actionable strategies to enhance civil society engagement in UN processes, aiming for a more inclusive, effective, and networked multilateralism.

This side event will bring together diverse civil society groups, UN Member States, and international organizations to critically evaluate the preliminary draft of the manual, ensuring it meets civil society needs at various levels.
