Accelerating SDG Progress in Uncertain Times: Integrating the Drivers of Development Impact
The session will focus on driving progress toward achievement of the SDGs in the context of multiple and overlapping shocks, using analytics to understand today and foresight to better anticipate tomorrow. COVID-19 has disproportionately impacted the most vulnerable, and the overlapping crisis of food, energy and finance challenge the Agenda 2030 principle of reaching the furthest behind first. This session will explore efforts from the German Development Cooperation (GIZ), UNDP, governments, and UN system partners to reimagine how we identify accelerators and build coalitions to take decisive action.
Register here to join virtually on Wednesday, 13 July 2021,8:00-9:00 AM EDT.
