Join the upcoming second Global Disability Summit

The Global Disability Summit has been a very good place to offer a concrete mechanism for collecting new, ambitious, and widespread commitments which are critical to achieving real change for persons with disabilities.

  • This summit publishes annual reports to monitor the implementation of the commitments and check-in with stakeholders on how they’re getting on with their commitments.
  • It also helped to deliver a number of national consultations to assess progress made against national commitments adopted in 2018, discuss thematic priorities, and plan events, discussions, and training for the run-up to the main GDS event in Norway in February 2022.
