Global Compact Critics is an informal network of organizations and people with concerns about the UN Global Compact. On this blog we gather and share information about the Global Compact, partnerships between the United Nations and companies, and corporate accountability.

Global Policy Forum

The Global Policy Forum monitors global policy making at the United Nations. At a time of rapid globalization, when nation states are weakening, the founders of GPF wanted to promote a more open, accountable and democratic policy process at the global level.
The Global Policy Forum works on Social and Economic Policy at the global level so as to win greater rights, equality and social justice. The issues include Globalization, Global Public Goods, Global Taxes, Transnational Corporations and Corporate Crisis.
Highly Recommended.
