Every four years Consumers International’s Global Congress brings together the consumer movement and leading cross-sector influencers to tackle pressing issues impacting consumers worldwide. We are delighted to announce our 2023 Global Congress will be held in Nairobi, Kenya from 06 – 08 December.
We will build on our previous editions of the event and our leading role in creating a powerful coalition across government, international agencies, business and civil society. Together for change, the Congress will be impact-oriented, focussed on developing practical solutions among marketplace actors and ensuring that consumers are brought into action and dialogue.
This year, the Membership of Consumers International - 200 consumer groups in 100 countries - selected Empowering Consumers Through Clean Energy Transitions as our global theme.
One hundred Members joined us for the campaign, uniting through a diverse range of activities from grassroots campaigns to policy dialogue to innovations which provide clear advice to consumers. Read more about their here.

In the run-up to World Consumer Rights Day, we spoke to two members of our Next Generation Leaders Network - who shared perspectives from Lebanon and India on how we can engage and empower young consumers in energy systems of the future.
