SUMMARY:Shared Responsibility\, Global Solidarity; A Virtual Dialogue on SDG17 and Public Private Partnerships: COVID-19 Response and Recovery in the Framework of the 2030 Agenda
DESCRIPTION:Join our webinar that aims to provide ideas about how partnerships can be catalyzed and scaled up in the COVID-19 era to advance the 2030 agenda. \nThe unfolding pandemic crisis has challenged national governments\, the international community and the business community in fundamental ways. All attention is now turned to solidarity in meeting urgent health and economic needs of people. Launching a global COVID-19 response is now an imperative and overarching focus for the United Nations\, as it is for global business. \nEffective pandemic response and recovery alongside the Decade of Delivery and Action\, relies on making “business as usual” obsolete for both the private sector and the international community. Inclusive multilateralism is needed now more than ever\, including through animating shared value partnerships across governments\, inter-governmental bodies\, business and other stakeholders. \nOrganized by UN DESA\, IOE\, USCIB’s All In 2020 Campaign and the Business Partners for Sustainable Development (BPSD)\, this virtual dialogue will provide ideas about how such partnerships can be catalyzed and scaled up to advance the 2030 Agenda and inform the future work of the HLPF. \nApril 29th\, 9:00 AM-10:30 AM \nRegister here

A separate section informs the participants about funding and collaboration opportunities. Finally\, a parallel program consisting of live webinars and a dedicated podcast series is also part of this unique virtual conference. By its comprehensive open access offer\, this conference therefore contributes to closing the knowledge gap in the fields of climate protection (mitigation) and adaptation. \nThe 7th edition of the climate conference also has a one-of-its-kind ‘CLIMATE2020 Global Ambassadors’ program in order to nurture the talents of the young climate changemakers worldwide. More than 30 Ambassadors from five continents – Asia\, Europe\, Australia\, Africa and America have been given a unique opportunity to be part of this mentoring program where they will boost their skills and expertise related to climate communications.
