On 2-3 June 2022, Sweden, together with Kenya, will host Stockholm+50, a UN conference that aims to help accelerate the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals.
Anchored in the Decade of Action and convened under the theme “A healthy planet for the prosperity of all – our responsibility, our opportunity,” this high-level meeting will follow months of consultations and discussions with individuals, communities, organizations and governments around the world. A one-day preparatory meeting will also be held at United Nations Headquarters in New York on 28 March 2022.
Stockholm+50 will commemorate the 1972 United Nations Conference on the Environment and celebrate 50 years of global environmental action. By recognizing the importance of multilateralism in tackling the Earth’s triple planetary crisis – climate, nature, and pollution – the event aims to act as a springboard to accelerate the implementation of the 2030 Agenda, Paris Agreement on climate change and post-2020 global Biodiversity Framework, and encourage the adoption of green post-COVID-19 recovery plans.
