Road to the Summit of the Future

[Image removed by sender.]<https://sdgactioncampaign.us15.list-manage.com/track/click?u=c9ddf1ac88c00a7343c10df04&id=c291a52953&e=f98aeed83d>

Major global shocks and risks have increasingly underscored the vulnerabilities of the current governance systems.
As the UN Secretary-General António Guterres stated<https://sdgactioncampaign.us15.list-manage.com/track/click?u=c9ddf1ac88c00a7343c10df04&id=9cb87290f0&e=f98aeed83d>:
“The institutions and frameworks of global governance, from the Security Council to the Bretton Woods system, were created 80 years ago. We can’t build a future for our grandchildren with a system built for our grandparents.”
The Summit of the Future<https://sdgactioncampaign.us15.list-manage.com/track/click?u=c9ddf1ac88c00a7343c10df04&id=4fe139cbc8&e=f98aeed83d> in September is a crucial opportunity to enhance cooperation on critical challenges and address gaps in global governance, reaffirm existing commitments, including to the SDGs and the UN Charter, assess and agree on action for a more coherent and effective international architecture, and move towards a reinvigorated multilateral system that is better positioned to positively impact people’s lives.
Given its critical role in amplifying the voices of the marginalized, disempowered and excluded at the local, national, regional and global levels, civil society is one of the key stakeholder groups to ensure a more inclusive multilateral system and greater accountability, and a major driving force for a transformative implementation of the SDGs.
This is why the UN SDG Action Campaign continually facilitates convening spaces and supports the engagement of civil society organizations and other key stakeholders in dialogues and meetings in the lead up to the Summit of the Future, featuring the latest updates in this special edition of our newsletter.

The discussions revolved around the International Financial Architecture (IFA), with a focus on structural problems, prevailing issues, and recommendations.

The Conference offers civil society organizations an opportunity to put a global perspective on specific issues. It brings together UN System officials, NGOs, academia, think tanks, Member States, media, private sector, change makers and leaders from diverse groups to discuss issues of global concern.
The Conference aims to increase awareness, ambition and accountability for the Summit of the Future, build multi-stakeholder ImPACT Coalitions to champion, act on and push forward reforms proposed in consensus language of the Pact, and to innovate the way civil society and other stakeholders interact with intergovernmental processes.
The UN SDG Action Campaign is providing financial support to the Conference.

C7 Summit to take place on 14-15 May in Rome, Italy

An important part of the G7 process is the dialogue with various interest groups, called Engagement Groups. Civil 7<https://sdgactioncampaign.us15.list-manage.com/track/click?u=c9ddf1ac88c00a7343c10df04&id=34265b6848&e=f98aeed83d> (C7) is one of the official Engagement Groups of the G7 and represents positions from the international Civil Society, to address critical global policy concerns, yet making another ambitious step forward in the scope and scale of the responses that are urgently required.
The C7 goes far beyond the 7 countries, gathering the voice of more than 700 organizations from around 70 countries; policy positions and recommendations are therefore developed collectively, thanks to a vibrant and inclusive process.
On the occasion of the Italian G7 Presidency in 2024, the Italian Civil Society Coalition is taking the lead in coordinating and moderating the C7 2024 process. The UN SDG Action Campaign is providing financial and communications support to the C7.

New UN report calls for trillions more in development investment to rescue Sustainable Development Goals

Meanwhile, rising geopolitical tensions, climate disasters and a global cost-of-living crisis have hit billions of people, battering progress on healthcare, education, and other development targets.
