Taking into account the UNGA discussions of Our Common Agenda and preparations for the Summit of the Future,  in 2022 the Coalition for the UN We Need (C4UN) revised its three-year strategic plan (2021-2023) which included a reorganization of its management and engagement structures to make it more democratic, inclusive and representative of global civil society as we made the transition from UN2020 into the C4UN.
