On 15 July 2020 at 14:00 (CET), the UN Sustainable Development Goals Knowledge Platform is hosting a webinar on 'An Interregional Dialogue on how SDG governance and policy coherence can accelerate action and progress on the SDGs in the post-COVID-19 era'.
The COVID-19 pandemic is an unprecedented multi-dimensional global crisis that demands coherent policy responses. The devastating human, social, financial, and economic consequences of this crisis across the world risk reversing important gains made in advancing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
This webinar will convene a panel of representatives from Governments of Romania and Mongolia in partnership with the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and Institute for Global Environmental Strategies (IGES) to:
- Identify concrete policy coherence actions at the domestic and international levels required to ensure a sustainable recovery from the COVID-19 crisis, while contributing to accelerate progress towards the SDGs.
- Share and learn from challenges and successes in country support provided by international organisations (OECD and others) for maximising synergies and minimising trade-offs across policy domains in addressing the pandemic and implementing the SDGs.
