October 9, 2018 from 14:30 to 16:00
In 2015, UN member states adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. This event will explore what sustainable development means at regional and local levels. These levels are where decision makers have to balance different dimensions of sustainability, participatory, social, economic and environmental and make sustainable development a reality. We will debate with leading regions and cities on the added-value of their work on sustainable development, how they translated it on the ground and where to start when you want to “localize SDGs”. We will also discuss how to link these efforts with progress and support at international, EU and national level and what kind of governance we need to boost implementation.
