DECADE OF ACTION: TURNING LESSONS INTO IMPACT

TO ACHIEVE THE 2030 AGENDA

THURSDAY, 28 JANUARY 2021,  10:00 – 11:30 a.m. EST

Join via Zoom:  Registration Link: http://bit.ly/MGoSWebinar

JOIN US to discuss the urgency for the HLPF to provide political leadership, guidance and recommendations on some key issues that have been highlighted by the COVID-19 pandemic.  There has been a tendency to view SDG implementation within national boundaries, ignoring the interconnectedness of issues and countries, and under-estimating the global implications and impact of inaction.  Even before COVID-19, it became clear that many targets will not be met.  A new approach is urgent and necessary.  The webinar will draw attention to the work of some of the MGOS and discuss proposals for HLPF action on a number of issues that require immediate attention.  Focus will be on:

• Health as a universal right
• Climate change
• Inequalities, diversity and inclusion
• Systemic economic reform

 OPENING STATEMENT

H.E. Ambassador Munir Akram, Permanent Representative of Pakistan to the United Nations, President of the Economic and Social Council.

Reflections and proposals for the way forward from:

• Major Groups and Other Stakeholders of the UN Sustainable Development processes
• Other stakeholders, including Member States and representatives from UN entities
