This side event discusses the participation of civil society organizations (CSOs) within UNCCD processes, emphasizing the need to support the involvement of CSOs and Indigenous Peoples. Since 2009, the Conference of the Parties (COP) has encouraged CSO engagement through decisions (5/COP.9 to 5/COP.15). However, challenges persist in achieving meaningful participation in UNCCD processes. This event presents the outcomes of a comparative study on CSO participation in the UNCCD and the UN Committee on World Food Securityand promotes dialogue on new ways to involve, represent and engage CSOs in UNCCD processes.
