2019 UN General Assembly Philanthropic Side-Events
In September 2019, representatives from government, civil society, and the corporate sector will come together at the 74th Session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York City to discuss important global challenges, from hunger and poverty to climate change and natural disasters.
Hundreds of UNGA side-events will bring together thousands of people, all working in different ways to “leave no one behind” and achieve the SDGs by 2030.
If you are hosting side-events featuring philanthropy that we should include in our calendar, please send event details to brian.kastner@cof.org so we can promote your event.
We will continue to update this calendar throughout September.
