2023 ECOSOC Partnership Forum virtual side event hosted by Stakeholder Forum on 31 January 2023
Leveraging Interlinkages Among SDGS Through Inclusive Partnerships with Local Communities was held as an official 2023 ECOSOC Partnership Forum virtual side event hosted by Stakeholder Forum on 31 January 2023. The session discusses recent innovative partnerships that are driving action on the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) at the local level and highlight the contributions that transnational multistakeholder partnerships can make in this regard as well as the challenges involved. A key theme was how transnational partnerships such as these can leverage interlinkages between SDGs at local levels to empower communities to improve local SDG implementation.
We brought together a wide range of experts, policymakers, and practitioners with knowledge of the SDGs’ interlinkages and transnational partnerships involving local communities. Panelists share knowledge and project findings from a range of partnerships that have sought to address challenges at the local level related to SDG 6 (clean water and sanitation), SDG7 (clean energy) SDG9 (sustainable industry), and SDG11 (sustainable cities and communities). On the other hand, we heard about the effectiveness of transnational partnerships in fragile states, recent progress in engaging stakeholders in mapping SDG interlinkages at the local level, and frameworks and tools to enable integrated and collaborative approaches to SDG implementation.
The full video recording can be found here, and an audio podcast recording will be available soon. You can also download the presentations by Katarina Veem, Thomas Rebermark, Professor Raymond Saner, Dr. Landry Egbende, and Dr. David Horan.

On July 13, 2021, on the virtual sidelines of the 2021 United Nations High-level Forum on Sustainable Development in New York – the HLPF, Stakeholder Forum and New World Frontiers held an HLPF ‘Pop-up’ Side Event to launch a new paper:
Financing for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Paris Climate Agreement: The UN Ecosystem of Initiatives on Private Sector Finance
A recording of that side event can be found here. The presentations, a single PDF file, here, and relevant content from the webinar chatbox can be found here.
About the paper: This timely paper is an overview of the UN Ecosystem of Initiatives on the private sector finance role in helping to finance the Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Climate Agreement. The delivery of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development has been estimated by several organizations, from the World Bank to the Sustainable Development Solutions Network, to be in the region of US$3-$5 trillion annually. This dwarfs the contribution from Overseas Development aid, which is in the region of US$150 billion annually.
The financing for the SDGs and the Paris Agreement will need a refocusing of private sector finance. In that context, this paper explores the state of the UN ecosystem of initiatives on private sector finance in support of this.
Moderated by Charles Nouhan, Chairman, Stakeholder Forum for a Sustainable Future, the expert panel included a number of the authors of this timely document:
Felix Dodds, Adjunct Professor at the University of North Carolina, USA, a contributor to and editor of the paper
Krishnan Sharma, Chief, Strategic Engagement Unit, Financing for Sustainable Development Office, United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs
Olcay Patrycja Tetik, Knowledge Management, and Communications Specialist at the United Nations Development Programme SDG Finance Sector Hub
Marie Morice, Head of Sustainable Finance United Nations Global Compact
Tony Bonnici, Officer in Charge Cooperation and Partnerships Section, United Nations Economic Commission for Europe
Raymond Landveld, Economic Affairs Officer, United Nations Conference on Trade and Development, New York Office
Liesel Van Ast, Membership and Regional Co-ordination Manager, United Nations Environment Programme Finance Initiative
On July 6, 2021, 18:00-19:30 EDT, as part of the 2021 United Nations High-level Forum on Sustainable Development (HLPF) in New York (the HLPF), Stakeholder Forum and Re-Energize DR3, with partners University College London, the University of Ghana, the University of Mauritius, and the University of North Carolina, held an HLPF Side Event entitled:
Governance of disasters risk reduction and resilience to boost the sustainable development goals
A recording of that side event can be found here. The presentations, a single PDF file, here, and relevant content from the webinar chatbox can be found here.
About the Side Event: The Sustainable Development Goals recognize the critical role that the interlinkages between the different goals and targets play. Disaster risk reduction and resilience (DR3) is a cross-cutting issue in the context of sustainable development and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), specifically SDG 13.1, which aims to “strengthen resilience and adaptive capacity to climate-related hazards and natural disasters in all countries.” The effective implementation of SDG 13.1 requires responsive, inclusive, participatory, and representative decision-making at all levels (SDG 16.7).
This SDG 17 project has been reviewing several developed (3) and developing (3) country approaches to the governance of disaster risk reduction and resilience. Within the project, we have looked at the engagement of stakeholders in drawing up disaster plans at all levels of government. We have also reviewed the available indicators that might be used.
The webinar discusses how to approach stakeholder identification and engagement processes in the context of multi-level governance to ensure that no one is left behind. Specifically, panellists shared experiences from the Re-Energize DR3 project in the United Kingdom, United States, Mauritius, and Ghana.
Introduced by Charles Nouhan, Chairman, Stakeholder Forum for a Sustainable Future, and moderated by Monica Boham, Minister-Counsellor, The Permanent Mission of Ghana to the United Nations, the side event included four panelists from the Re-Energize DR3 project and two external respondents:

What Happened at the 5th United Nations Environment Assembly, the first sessions during UNEA 5.1? – Outcomes and Conclusions
UNEA 5.1 took place in February 2021, an abbreviated virtual meeting due to the global COVID-19 pandemic. This 3-hour webinar offers a summary and analysis of what happened at UNEA 5.1, what was agreed, and what will be discussed and decided as a way forward at the second and final session, UNEA 5.2, on February 28, March 1, & March 2, 2022.
On behalf of Stakeholder Forum for a Sustainable Future, and in cooperation with the United Nations Environment Programme, Jan-Gustav Strandenaes, Senior Advisor on Governance and Sustainable Development at Stakeholder Forum, explored how the two UNEA meetings are connected, and in doing so considered UNEA in the context of the nearly 50 years that have passed since the founding of UNEP in 1972. In addition, the session covered the two commemorative events due to take place next year, UNEP@50 and Stockholm+50.
Stakeholder Forum also announced its 3rd quarter 2021 series of in-depth capacity-building webinars for each of the six UNEP Regions, aimed at preparing Major Groups and other Stakeholders to effectively engage with and participate in UNEA 5.2. The dates of those events will be announced in September.
