In this historic context, civil society is organizing two crucial side events to present their perspectives, proposals, and priorities. These events offer an essential platform for public engagement and transparency as nations begin formal negotiations on international tax cooperation under the UN system.

All sessions and side events will be streamed live via UN Web TV.

For the first time, governments are negotiating within an inclusive and transparent UN forum, and civil society is playing an active role in shaping the agenda. These side events will spotlight key civil society proposals aimed at making the global tax system fairer, more transparent, and responsive to the needs of developing countries.
