Complex Interlinkages between the SDGs - 23.03.2023

Thursday 23.03.2023 – 18:15 to 19:45 CET – Online & A2, Maison de la Paix, Geneva, Switzerland

The world faces an unprecedented scale of change, symptoms of which include multiple deep and wide human and environmental shocks and stressors; from increasing inequalities affecting education and health to accelerating climate change and decreasing biodiversity. The world – and the problems the world is facing – are complex, and yet the research methods currently used and policy solutions offered do not adequately grapple with that complexity.

This event begins a discussion on taking complexity seriously as we examine linkages between several SDGs, and how systems insights and practices can be more effectively leveraged for the common good to counteract negative global trends and harness positive developments, particularly with regard to governance, financing, and cooperation across several SDGs.
