Following "Think Globally, Act Systemically: Driving Sustainable Change at the UN SDG Summit", this event will explore the value of bringing together experts from various disciplines, sectors, and methodologies in multi-stakeholder partnerships to address complex challenges. SDG target 17.16 compels us to “Enhance the global partnership for sustainable development, complemented by multi-stakeholder partnerships that mobilize and share knowledge, expertise, technology, and financial resources, to support the achievement of the sustainable development goals in all countries, in particular developing countries.” However, setting up and maintaining successful multi-stakeholder partnerships is a laborious task. With this event, we will present one successful case study from the SDSN Network to inspire action and provoke a conversation around the variables that can promote successful partnerships.
Moderator: Julio Lumbreras, Professor at Universidad Politécnica de Madrid and Harvard University.
Speakers include:
● Leire Pajín, Chair of SDSN Spain: The importance of multi-stakeholder platforms for implementing the SDGs
