Virtual Roundtable Series of the Earth System Governance Taskforce on the SDGs

We are excited to invite you to the fifth session of the Virtual Roundtable Series of the Earth System Governance Taskforce on the SDGs, scheduled on Wednesday 24 April 2024 from 13:30 to 16:00 (CEST). By exploring new insights from current SDG research and practice, the series analyses promises and pitfalls of SDG implementation and identifies enabling and constraining factors for bolstering SDG action.

Co-organized by our recently created working group on SDG interactions and modelling led by Prajal Pradhal (Integrated Research on Energy, Environment and Society, Netherlands) and Nina Weitz (Stockholm Environment Institute, Sweden), this session will discuss roadmaps for the Summit of the Future and the post-2030 Agenda. It also aims to disseminate the key findings of the workshop on "Future of Sustainable Development: Bridging SDG Interactions, Modelling, Tools, and Policy", hosted by the Rudolf Agricola School for Sustainable Development (University of Groningen). The programme of the roundtable is included at the bottom of this email.
