27 February 2025

Please note that an addendum to the Programme of Work for the 24th Session of the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues will be formally announced and provided shortly.

The Secretary-General has informed all Member States that due to the worsening liquidity situation, that with immediate effect: “All meeting bodies with a session of 10 meetings or more are to reduce their number of meetings by at least 10% and adjust their programmes of work accordingly.”

As a result, the measure will impact the Permanent Forum session, along with all other UN bodies. Therefore, two half-day sessions have been cut from the Programme of Work.

To access the amended programme of work, please visit the UNPFII 24th Session website.
