Not having that direct engagement has been difficult. We are all very glad that this period seems to be coming to an end and I am particularly pleased that we were able to host such a large group, to really usher in this new period of engagement.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The one-on-one with civil society included an introductory statement from the President, where he outlined his five priorities, or \u2018rays of hope\u2019 for the 76<sup>th<\/sup> session of the General Assembly. This was followed by statements from five separate CSOs covering each of the five topics. The President also spent an hour taking questions from attendees, covering everything from gender equality to COVID-19 and vaccine equity, from youth empowerment to the revitalization of the United Nations.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the in-person attendance, which represented civil society groups from across all regions, viewers also tuned in to the global webcast, which was broadcast with interpretation in all six official languages.<\/p>\n<p>The President assured the attendees that the Office of the President of the General Assembly is working with the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ Secretariat to ensure that civil society participation will continue to be welcomed at all upcoming events.<\/p>\n<p>The President also welcomed the recent announcement by the Secretary-General that grounds passes for CSOs would once again be processed as of 3 January 2022.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;<\/p>\n<p>For further information or media inquiries, please contact Carl Mercer, <a href=\"mailto:carl.mercer@un.org\">carl.mercer@un.org<\/a> in the Office of the PGA.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><div class=\"et_pb_row et_pb_row_0 et_pb_row_empty\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div> New York, 17 November 2021 \u2013 Hundreds of civil society representatives joined the President of the United Nations General Assembly (PGA), H.E.

Mr. Abdulla Shahid, concluded his 4-day official visit to the COP26 climate conference in Glasgow.<\/p><p>The PGA delivered remarks at the formal Opening of the COP26, where he emphasized that humanity had the capacity to tackle the climate crisis but lacked the will to deliver. The PGA also relayed messages from the General Assembly High-Level Dialogue on Delivering Climate Action which took place on 26<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0Oct at the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ Headquarters in New York. At the event, Member States called for reliable access to finance, technology transfer, and support for adaptation.<\/p><p>On day 2 of COP26, the PGA joined other world leaders at the World Leaders Summit. The President spoke with Heads of State and Government, and Ministers, from a number of countries, including Antigua and Barbuda, Bangladesh, Bulgaria, Barbados, Brunei, Canada, Comoros, Egypt, Fiji, Guinea Bissau, India, Kuwait, Malawi, Maldives, Namibia, Palau, Sao Tome and Principe, Seychelles, Sri Lanka, Tanzania, Thailand, Trinidad and Tobago, Tuvalu, the UAE, Zimbabwe, as well as the European Commission.<\/p><p>The President held bilateral discussions with H.E.

Likewise, the President welcomed the<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>pledge to reduce methane emissions by 30 per cent by 2030, noting that these were constructive and concrete steps to maintain the 1.5 target.<\/p><p>President Shahid spoke with several media outlets during his visit, including Deutsche Welle, Al-Jazeera, Bloomberg, Sky News Arabia, Public Service Media of Maldives, Doordharshan News, and CNBC. The President also participated in the \u2018Net Zero World\u2019 documentary.<\/p><p>Prior to departure, the President toured the Green Zone \u2013 the public venue of COP26 \u2013 and met with Alman, a young boy from the Maldives who had created a viral video on the need for climate action.<\/p><p>Commenting on the state of negotiations and COP26, President Shahid noted:<\/p><p><em>\u201cI leave Glasgow with cautious optimism; COP26 needs to reignite hope for people everywhere by recommitting to 1.5, by fleshing out details on how we will get there. The people of the world sense the urgency, now they need to know we have a clear pathway and timeline. I believe we are seeing that come together. The announcements on deforestation and on methane, combined with calls for finance, adaptation and net zero targets, are signs of progress.\u201d<\/em><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p>","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[99],"tags":[],"committee-meeting":[],"class_list":["post-252692","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-pressreleases","et-doesnt-have-format-content","et_post_format-et-post-format-standard"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Civil Society Returns to Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ General Assembly | General Assembly of the United Nations<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/pga\/76\/2021\/11\/17\/civil-society-returns-to-un-general-assembly\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Civil Society Returns to Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ General Assembly | General Assembly of the United Nations\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"New York, 17 November 2021 \u2013 Hundreds of civil society representatives joined the President of the United Nations General Assembly (PGA), H.E.
