- When: 6 July 2021 at 7:30 am – 9:00 am EST
- How to Join: Register here for the event.
This event will connect policymakers, researchers and other stakeholders to debate the following questions:
- What are emerging trends on SDG 16 (peace, justice and inclusion), with a particular focus on the Global South? How has the COVID-19 pandemic affected progress on this Goal in different contexts?
- Peace, justice and inclusion can support progress on the 2030 Agenda as a whole, including on health, the economy and the environment. What do we know about these ‘SDG 16 interlinkages’ and how can we use them pro-actively as levers to inform recovery?
The event will showcase relevant findings from research collaborations such as:
- Emerging trends on SDG 16 from regional roundtables and thematic e-discussions aimed at amplifying research and perspectives from Latin America, Asia and Africa. Led by Southern Voice.
- SDG 16 interlinkages across the 2030 Agenda. Led by the German Development Institute/Deutsches Institut für Entwicklungspolitik (DIE).
Moderator will be Mr. Arvinn Gadgil, Director of the UNDP Oslo Governance Centre.
