📅 Week 1 · April 14–20, 2026
Launch: The Forus Post-2030 Vision
We kick off the campaign by presenting our 3Ds - what we defend, demand, and decline - as well as by sharing the event invitation to the launch of the Forus Post-2030 Vision report happening on May 21! The Forus post-2030 vision comes from our global civil society network of 74 National NGO Platforms and 8 Regional Coalitions, representing over 24,000 NGOs. It reflects collective reflection, lived realities, and voices often excluded from global agenda-setting. Join our multilingual social media campaign to explore these positions through posts, podcasts, and articles unpacking the vision.

Apr 14OPENING📽️ Short motion teaser
Something important is coming.
The debate on what comes after 2030 is already underway — and civil society cannot arrive late. In the coming weeks, Forus will launch a new political vision for the post-2030 agenda: what must be defended, what must change, and what must not be lost. Stay with us.

Apr 16DEFEND💬 Quote card
The future after 2030 will not be decided in 2027 alone.
It is being shaped now — through narratives, alliances, political choices, and decisions about who gets to participate. That is why civil society must engage early, strategically, and collectively.
Apr 20UNSG DIALOGUES🐦 X⏰ 11:00 Brussels / 10:00 Cameroon
This week, candidates for UNSG face public questions at the UN General Assembly.
For Forus, this is a key moment to hear where they stand on civic space, UN reform and post-2030. We're listening 👀

Apr 20UNSG DIALOGUES🔗 LinkedIn
This week, public dialogues with candidates for the next UN Secretary-General offer an important test for the future of multilateralism.
For @Forus, the key questions are clear:
🌍 Will the next Secretary-General defend international law and a rules-based multilateral system?
🗣️ Will they protect civic space and an enabling environment for civil society?
⚖️ Will they support a people-centred UN reform agenda grounded in rights, accountability and localisation?
🔮 Will they help shape an open, inclusive and credible post-2030 process?
These are not abstract questions. They will shape who is heard, who is protected, and whether the UN remains fit for today's challenges.
We will be following the dialogues closely alongside civil society partners 🌍

What must be defended in the post-2030 agenda?
Forus says: ✓ a universal and rights-based agenda ✓ civic space ✓ local leadership ✓ multilateralism ✓ the core promise to leave no one behind.
This is not the moment to step back.

⚡ Defining Our 3Ds: Defend, Demand, Decline
In this second week of social media mobilisation we draw on national and regional consultations and scenario mapping with our members and partners, to set out clearly what we defend, demand, and decline — our 3Ds for a credible post-2030 agenda. We also sketch out possible futures — from continuity to reset or even fragmentation — and explain the current global context that will influence the next development framework.

Apr 21DEMAND🎠 Carousel
What must change?
Forus calls for a post-2030 framework that is more credible, more accountable, and more grounded in justice. That means stronger financing reform, real accountability, meaningful civil society participation, and greater power for local actors.
Apr 22DECLINE🎠 Carousel
What must not be lost — and what must be declined?
We reject a watered-down framework that sacrifices rights, universality, accountability, civic freedoms, or climate ambition for political convenience. The next framework must not be smaller, weaker, or more selective.

The post-2030 process could evolve in 3 ways
🟢 Continuity — the most likely baseline
🔵 Reset — the most ambitious horizon
🔴 Fragmentation — the constant risk
Forus' vision is built to stay politically relevant across all three.

🌍 Critical Questions for the Post-2030 Agenda
For this third week we focus on the report launch and a few critical questions guiding our vision. What is the one thing the next global development agenda must not lose? What are the biggest gaps the future framework must fix? How can we ensure, through stronger financing, real accountability, deeper localisation, and meaningful civic participation, that the next framework truly delivers? And ultimately, what makes a development agenda truly credible — rooted in ambition, firm accountability, and real implementation?

The post-2030 conversation is not only about future goals.
It is also about participation, accountability, financing, and the political values that will shape international cooperation in the years ahead.
Forus is launching a collective civil society vision on what must be defended, demanded, and declined as this debate unfolds.
We look forward to engaging governments, UN actors, donors, partners, and civil society allies.

🎙️ Voices That Matter: Members, Youth, and Communities
For this fourth week we bring forward the voices that matter most — members, youth, and community actors — while opening the doors to our launch event. Whose voices should shape the post-2030 agenda? What kind of future should the next global development framework protect — and who gets to answer that question? As registration opens for our 21 May launch, we ask: can a framework be truly credible if the people most affected by it are left at the margins? And as we enter the final stretch, what must still be defended, demanded, and declined — loud and clear — before the conversation begins in earnest?

🔮 Three Possible Futures for Post-2030
🟢 Continuity
An extension of the SDGs with targeted improvements in financing, climate, technology, and local participation — keeping the global framework while refining it.
🔵 Reset
A more ambitious, justice-driven approach. Focused on structural reforms, stronger accountability, transformative financing, and deeper local engagement.
🔴 Fragmentation
A weaker, more divided scenario shaped by geopolitical tensions and declining trust — putting global cooperation and progress at risk.
