As this is the first IMRF, there is a unique opportunity, within the remit set by the GCM and the attendant modalities resolution, to help set the tone and ambition of the Forum, uphold the GCM’s guiding principles, and contribute to the delineation of concrete recommendations for the following four years. The IMRF and its preparations will also be an opportunity to demonstrate the ability of the Network to provide effective and coherent support to GCM implementation, and its follow-up and review.
