About the Event
In the closing session, we will build on the discussions that took place throughout the Forum to end on a positive and energizing note and embrace the spirit of our 2025 strategy: formulating and promoting a positive agenda for civil society. We will look at the importance of crafting a new vision and narrative that shows the power of solidarity and the need to radically rethink how we as CSOs can engage with decision-makers and with people and instill hope that transformational change towards a more sustainable future is possible.
