The annual UN’s ECOSOC Partnership Forum, held at the start of the year, is a vital platform for involving a diverse array of stakeholders in the activities of ECOSOC and the High-Level Political Forum (HLPF). Participants include representatives from Member States, NGOs, local governments, the private sector, civil society, the UN system, international financial institutions, academia, and youth, among others. This gathering of varied perspectives helps align priorities and generate momentum for ECOSOC’s initiatives, laying the groundwork for progress throughout the year.
Join us at the “Inspire 4 Tomorrow” (I4T) side event, part of the 2025 ECOSOC Partnership Forum, as we unite global leaders, organizations, and communities to address the pressing challenges of our time. This event highlights innovative partnerships designed to accelerate commitments towards inclusive and sustainable development. With a focus on advancing the 2030 Agenda, the I4T initiative fosters collaboration across diverse sectors, prioritizing equality, innovation, and actionable solutions for a better future.
“Inspire 4 Tomorrow” Innovative Partnership: Accelerating Inclusive and Sustainable Development
The side event, aligned with 2025 theme of ECOSOC Partnership Forum, will highlight an innovative partnership, “Inspire 4 Tomorrow (I4T)”, an outcome from the UN Summit of the Future (side event #062) to support the actions approved in the Pact and aimed to mobilize commitments & actions by promoting inclusive & sustainable development, gender equality & human rights, to advance the 2030 Agenda and address emerging challenges.
The “I4T” partnership is a catalyst for positive change by forming a “collaboratory” structured as a Foundation, bringing together UN, Member States, Indigenous Peoples, academia, youth, women, civil society, industries, to offer innovative solutions for a better future.
The side event will demonstrate the “I4T” partnership’s unique approach in prioritizing inclusivity and equal access to advancements in S&T, focusing on STEM4women, Indigenous knowledge, and digital cooperation, contributing to HLPF 2025 goals 3, 5, 8, 14, and 17.
The expected outcome will include collective actions needed for accountable and results-oriented partnership, bridging technology, diplomacy, and innovation, to advance the Pact actions for sustainable & equitable future for all.
