SDGs in Practice
For ten years, the SDGs in Practice series - held as a special event to the High-level Political Forum on Sustainable Development (HLPF) - has provided a dedicated space for applied knowledge-sharing, skills-building, and collaboration to advance the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The series has sought to equip policymakers, practitioners and various stakeholders with the knowledge and skills needed for SDG implementation. The SDGs in Practice aims to:- Facilitate the acquisition by a wide range of practitioners of knowledge and skills needed for the implementation of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
- Foster networking opportunities, encouraging the sharing of experiences and collaboration among peers.
- Provide insights into practical actions, tools, and innovative solutions for SDG implementation.
