Draft Annotated Agenda (pdf)
ABOUT
This side event will apply a policy coherence perspective to shed light on critical governance challenges and capacity constraints that governments are facing in ensuring a sustainable recovery. It will also provide an opportunity to discuss policy options for dealing with cross-sectoral interactions and transboundary issues in a way that will help reap the benefits of recovery processes to accelerate action in line with the 2030 Agenda. This event aims to contribute to the High-level Political Forum’s theme by enabling an interactive discussion among key decision makers and stakeholders on country-level experiences and a concrete exchange of ideas and solutions to address the interconnections between the SDGs and engage effectively key actors to accelerate progress and recover from the COVID-19 crisis in a sustainable manner. Public and private actors are engaged in an unprecedented effort to recover from the impacts of COVID 19. In this context, strengthening policy coherence for sustainable development lies at the core of a successful outcome to achieve the future we want while respecting the vision, principles and goals enshrined in the 2030 Agenda.
