From 07 – 11 July Consumers International joined 600 participants from 98 countries last week at the 9th United Nations Conference on Competition and Consumer Protection. Alongside our Members we presented bold, practical solutions to today’s most pressing consumer challenges, demonstrating how consumer advocacy drives efficiency, innovation, and real-world impact in rapidly changing markets.
Being on the ground in Geneva allowed us to inform the UNCTAD Conference as well as to connect with leaders from the World Trade Organization, World Health Organization and to bring the consumer voice to the AI for Good Summit.
While these conversations covered a broad range of topics, a core theme ran through them all: consumer voices are central to shaping fair, inclusive, and resilient global systems.
As 2024 comes to a close, we celebrate a year of progress powered by our global community. Together with our Members and select stakeholders, we tackled some of the biggest challenges consumers face today to ensure fairness, safety, and sustainability for consumers everywhere. From influencing global policies to tackling scams and advocating for sustainable lifestyles, here are the top ten highlights from the year.
