2020 UN Forum on Business & Human Rights: Session recordings available

Date: 16 -18 November 2020, Virtual [...]

Theme: "Preventing business-related human rights abuses: The key to a sustainable future for people and planet" [...]

Programme: Link to Forum programme [session recordings available via programme entries]

Due to the ongoing worldwide challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, the UN Working Group on Business and Human Rights, which guides and chairs the Annual Forum on Business and Human Rights, has decided that the 2020 edition of the Forum will be held virtually from 16 to 18 November 2020.

Reflecting on the current global situation and the renewed emphasis on the need to prevent harm to people and the planet resulting from business activities, the prevention of business-related human rights abuses will be the central theme of the 2020 Forum. The Forum agenda will seek to reinforce the message that strengthening prevention– by learning from both good practices and from when things have gone wrong, as well as by addressing systemic gaps – can help to build a sustainable future for people and the planet.

The Working Group hopes that using virtual platforms will extend the global reach of the Forum and open it up to even more stakeholders.
