All people are welcome: Individuals, community representatives, people of lived experiences, global organisations, students, health, social, education and economic professions, environmental campaigners, trade unions, policymakers, civil rights champions, spiritual and religious networks, and government leaders.
The summit provides spaces for engagement and global conversation across cultures, diverse lived experiences, professional groups, and perspectives. We invite you to contribute to the conversation in a variety of ways, including sharing your professional or cultural practices, academic experiences or indigenous knowledge. Your proposals will contribute to setting a shared of values that can help us co-build a new eco-social world.
The summit partners want to ensure that the voices of all the participants will be included in the outcome of the summit. The outcomes will be delivered to the United Nations High-Level Political Forum in July 2022 where the world’s leaders will be invited to join us in this movement for an eco-social world. Participants in the Summit will have different ways to contribute both before and during the days of the summit, June 29 – July 2. Participants can present their contributions as video presentations (before March 31st) or they can share their proposals in the spaces created in the programme.
