The economic transformation needed for meeting the Sustainable Development Goals is unprecedented: it will amount to a total turn-around of our lifestyles, production patterns and approaches towards policymaking. Making this transformation “fast, fair and green” and using it for creating good jobs, decent working conditions, adequate livelihoods and inclusive outcomes is key to leaving no one behind.
As part of Germany’s and UNEP’s promise to step up their efforts for globally implementing the SDGs, the German Ministry for Environment and UNEP have created ‘Global Opportunities for SDGs’ (or in short: GO for SDGs). This new initiative aims to accelerate and raise ambition for building inclusive and sustainable economies and societies, by facilitating regional dialogue and exchange among practitioners on best practices for replicating and scaling-up effects, and by fostering local institutional learning and experience sharing.
This group centres around the concept of ‘Global Opportunities for SDGs’, accelerating development towards achieving the SDGs.
