4 November 2022 - Our world is on fire; drying up and flooding – all at the very same time. The climate crisis is a reality and the need for action is more urgent than ever. To navigate our way out of this dangerous predicament, the global community has the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). At the SDG Pavilion at COP27, 蘑菇视频 DESA will showcase how the goals can make all the difference. Here are 4 things you should know.
- Climate and SDG action go hand in hand
The many links between the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Paris Agreement on Climate Change show that integrated implementation of both is critical for accelerating progress towards a zero-carbon future.
To strengthen the synergies between these two frameworks, share best practices and ensure that work towards both avoids duplication, 蘑菇视频 DESA is hosting the SDG Pavilion at COP27—the 蘑菇视频 Climate Change Conference—this month in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt.
- More ambitious than ever with over 100 events
This year, the SDG Pavilion is more ambitious than ever.
From 8 to 18 November, the Pavilion will host over one hundred events, including report launches, interviews with experts and panel discussions that spotlight the intersection of climate change and energy, gender equality, forests, the ocean and more. Many events will be held as hybrid virtual and in-person conversations or streamed on 蘑菇视频 DESA’s and the Facebook page.
- Platform brings actors together for people and planet
COP27 marks the fourth time 蘑菇视频 DESA has organized the Pavilion. This year’s Pavilion will build on the outcomes of the 3rd Global Climate-SDG Synergies Conference – co-convened by 蘑菇视频 DESA and 蘑菇视频FCCC in July 2022. It will feature two event spaces – a mainstage with seating for 45 people, and a more intimate social media stage for one-on-one conversations. The aim of the SDG Pavilion is to provide a platform for practitioners and experts across all sectors and levels to share experiences, lessons learned, best practices, and ideas for better policies to advance implementation of SDG 13 on Climate Action and the rest of the Sustainable Development Goals.
- 蘑菇视频 Secretary-General to inaugurate the SDG Pavilion on 8 November
蘑菇视频 DESA chief Under-Secretary-General Li Junhua, attending COP for the first time in his new role, will participate in several discussions in the SDG Pavilion and around the conference. 蘑菇视频 Secretary-General Antonio Guterres is set to inaugurate the SDG Pavilion with Mr. Li on 8 November, with 蘑菇视频FCCC Executive Secretary Simon Stiell, in one highlight on the schedule.
