Forus Post-2030 Vision - Vision Post-2030 de Forus - Visión Post-2030 de Forus

The future after 2030 is being shaped now — through narratives, alliances, political choices, and decisions about who gets to participate. The post-2030 conversation is not only about future goals. It is about participation, accountability, financing, and the political values that will shape international cooperation in the years ahead. That is why civil society must engage early, strategically, and collectively.

 

Forus is launching a collective civil society vision on what must be defended, demanded, and declined as this debate unfolds.

Forus
 

Drawing on national and regional consultations and scenario mapping with our members and partners, the report identifies key advocacy opportunities and sets out clearly what we defend, demand, and decline — our 3Ds for a credible post-2030 agenda.

 

Our new report also sketches out possible futures — from continuity to reset or even fragmentation — and explains the current global context that will influence the next development framework.

Ten Years of Agenda 2030: Can Voluntary National Reviews Still Rescue the SDGs?

As the global community enters the final five-year stretch toward the SDG deadline, the time for rhetorical commitment is over. Accountability is now the litmus test of credibility. At the center of that test lies the Voluntary National Review (VNR) process—the mechanism through which countries report on their progress toward the SDGs.
