G20 Brasil 2024 - civil society side event

Our mission is to convene thought leaders and activists to ideate on justice, create solutions, and catalyze actions to elevate humanity.
Our Mission
To address the world’s most pressing issues through collective action, fostering an inclusive platform where diverse voices can contribute to sustainable and equitable solutions.
Our Vision
To create a world where justice, sustainability, and equity are at the forefront of global agendas, driving positive change and improving the quality of life for all.
Since its inception in 2019, the Humanity Summit has evolved into a pioneering force for collective action. Our journey began with a vision to unite Human Rights defenders from all sectors, leading to the co-creation of the Humanity Pact in 2023. We are now focused on its implementation and the kickoff of the Humanity Index creation.
In today’s interconnected world, the challenges we face as a global community require collective action and innovative solutions. The Humanity Summit is an annual international event dedicated to addressing these challenges by bringing together thought leaders, activists, and change-makers from around the world.
Our mission is to foster collaboration, share insights, and inspire action that promotes dignity, equality, and freedom for all.
