Hi friends,
Our yearly civil society forum ahead of UNECE’s Regional Forum on Sustainable Development (RFSD) will take place online, so we have split up our strategy meeting into two parts and an orientation session over the spacing of two days. Please note that you do need to register to all three sessions latest 7 March 2021 to receive the zoom access link. Below is an overview of the various sessions:
March 8 Agenda
10:00 am CET/4:00 am EST – Orientation
Are you new to this space? Come along and learn about the Regional Civil society Engagement Mechanism (RCEM), how to do advocacy online, how to navigate the regional forum, and what are the latest updates on HLPF Review? Register here!
12:00 pm CET/6:00 am EST – Strategy Meeting part 1
Civil society will collectively focus on developing common positions which can be used to shape their collective advocacy during the official sessions of the Regional Forum on Sustainable Development, the peer-learning tables and side events. These positions will also be shared with the global civil society engagement mechanism: Major Group and other Stakeholders. Register here.
March 9 Agenda
12:00 pm CET/6:00 am EST – Strategy Meeting part 2
The second part of our strategy meeting is split into two parts, the first part is a strategic session with UN Agencies and Member States, the second part is open to civil society only and will be used to strategize around SDGs monitoring, with a focus on local, national and regional dynamics. Register here.
If you have any questions around accessibility of the meeting or if you have issues registering, please contact our accessibility coordinator for the civil society forum: Martyna Balciunaite (martyna.balciunaite@eud.eu). The sessions will have Russian, French and Spanish translations.
