This side event will share country experience of how to implement the SDGs to achieve zero extreme poverty, zero net greenhouse emissions and zero net loss of natural capital (“Getting to Zero”). This will bring together experiences of countries in Global South and North on how to leave no one behind while taking into account environmental sustainability and climate resilience. The session focuses on empowerment, institutional and finance reforms, new metrics and the launch of this policy framework in a new report by the Poverty Environment Partnership (PEP) on “Getting to Zero”.
