PPPs

Join this UNGA76 side event exploring corporate influence across the United Nations System, and identifying ways in which civil society and all actors can resist corporate influence with a view to build a more accountable and equitable system that operates in the interests of people and planet, rather than profit.

 Register:  bit.ly/AccountabilityForCorporateSector

Speakers will include:

• Moderator: Barbara Adams, Global Policy Forum
• Cai Yiping, Development Alternatives for Women (DAWN)
• Emilia Reyes, Campaign of Campaigns/Equidad de Genero
• Debbie Stothard, ALTSEAN / Steering Committee of Corporate Accountability Working Group at ESCR-Net

Some guiding questions:

• How can pushes for inclusivity have unintended consequences for enhancing corporate influence across the United Nations system?
•  How do states and governments use PPPs and the idea of multistakeholderism to obfuscate responsibilities to their populations?
•  How can corporations be held accountable to Human Rights mechanisms and international law?
• What changes are needed to transform the way in which the UN System is funded to reduce or combat corporate capture of decision-making?

This event will be recorded and uploaded to the Women’s Major Group YouTube Channel. Interpretation will be available in French and Spanish.
