UN Forum on Business and Human Rights 2025

The 14th UN Forum on Business and Human Rights will take place from 24 to 26 November 2025 in a hybrid format — in person at Palais des Nations in Geneva and online.

As the largest annual global gathering on business and human rights, the Forum brings together thousands of participants from governments, businesses, civil society, trade unions, national human rights institutions, international organisations, academia and the media.

Under the theme ‘Accelerating action on business and human rights amidst crises and transformations,’ the Forum seeks to respond to evolving global challenges — including geopolitical tensions, climate change, rapid technological change, shifting global value chains and growing inequalities — by exploring how companies, states, and other stakeholders can uphold human rights obligations in business activities more effectively.
