Overview

The civil society action briefs are linked to each of the three Fifth Global Forum policy briefs.

A recording of the Roundtable on Civil society's leadership on the path to 2030, held on 4 April 2023, is available on the Fifth Global Forum dedicated platform until April 2024. *A brief registration is required to view the recording.
