WHAT: The 2022 ECOSOC
Partnership Forum will bring together governments,
businesses, academia and civil society, including women and
youth to showcase new initiatives and solutions that can
deliver on the ambition, complexity and breadth of the
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Collective action is essential to the COVID-19 recovery and advancing the SDGs in this Decade of Action. At the heart of the conversations at the Forum – which range from promoting vaccine equity to closing the digital divide – will be an opportunity to exchange experiences and share innovative solutions that can help shape prosperous, resilient and inclusive societies.
ECOSOC President Collen Kelapile said: “My hope is that the Partnership Forum will go beyond just bringing together governments and other key actors to share their relevant experiences and insights. My ambition is for us to co-create effective and inclusive multi-stakeholder collaboration that will have a lasting impact on the ground, where action is most direly needed.”
The event will be held in a virtual format under the theme “Building back better from the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) while advancing the full implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development”.
