Special Accreditation - The 2024 UN Summit of the Future (SOTF)
Welcome to the special accreditation process for the 2024 UN Summit of the Future. In line with commitments articulated in both Decision 77/568 and the Modalities Resolution (A/RES/76/307), the two co-facilitators, Germany and Namibia, have outlined plans, with the support of the United Nations, for engagement with civil society and other stakeholders.
This engagement aims to complement intergovernmental consultations and ensure diverse voices and perspectives can contribute at different stages of the Summit’s preparatory process. The Summit will take place at the United Nations Headquarters in New York on 22-23 September 2024.
