This event is hosted by Iswe Foundation, the Climate Emergency Collaboration Group, and the New York Society for Ethical Culture, and supported by the Government of Brazil, the Wellcome Trust, and Avaaz. It will bring together members and friends of the Coalition for a Global Citizens’ Assembly for the official launch of the Coalition and the Global Citizens’ Assembly for People and Planet.

The event will take place against the backdrop of the UN Summit of the Future in support of the UN Secretary-General’s vision of a more networked, inclusive, and effective multilateralism. It will explore how the Global Citizens’ Assembly for People and Planet, supported by the Government of Brazil, could help to kickstart a new era of citizen participation in global governance.
