The Conference of States Parties (COSP) to the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities will take place from 10 to 12 June 2025 in New York.
The Civil Society Forum will happen the day before, on 9 June.
This year’s COSP themes are:
- Main theme: Enhancing public awareness of the rights and contributions of persons with disabilities for social development leading up to the Second World Summit for Social Development
- Roundtable 1: Empowering persons with disabilities and enhancing social development policies through innovative financing.
- Roundtable 2: Leaving no one behind: using AI as a tool for supporting inclusivity to strengthen the participation of persons with disabilities.
- Roundtable 3: Recognising and addressing the rights of Indigenous persons with disabilities and their role in advancing disability inclusion.
We want to know who from our network is planning to go to COSP.
If someone from your organisation is attending, please let us know!
If you are hosting, speaking at a side event, or speaking in a main session (plenary), let us know as well.
We will work to coordinate and support our members’ participation.
We will also promote the events where our members are involved.
Please email Manel Mhiri with your information as soon as you can.
We are looking forward to seeing our network represented strongly at COSP this year.
