Civil Society Town Hall with the President of the General Assembly on the priorities for the 80th Session

January 29, 2026

Better Together: The role of civil society in strengthening the United Nations in fragmented times

During the United Nations’ 80th session, the President of the General Assembly, H.E. Ms. Annalena Baerbock, convened a Town Hall meeting with civil society representatives to hear their perspectives, promote the exchange of innovative ideas and solutions, and invite concrete recommendations. On its 80th anniversary, as the multilateral system with the UN at its core is under pressure, the meeting enabled a candid dialogue with civil society organizations, focusing not only on their concerns but also on their practical proposals on how the United Nations can better deliver for all. 

As the UN SDG Action Campaign, we were pleased to support the Town Hall by capturing the ideas, themes, and reflections shared during the discussion through a live illustration.
