UN76 Dialogue: Inclusion & Diversity Impact Change
Thursday, February 17, 2022 @1PM – 3:30PM, EST
We strive to focus on the importance of inclusion and diversity to achieve the success of the UN 17 Sustainable Development Goals with stakeholders from all sectors. This includes intergenerational gender equality, upholding human rights, and advocacy for a global economy that supports access to innovative technologies and quality education with connectivity for all. According to UN Secretary-General H.E. Antonio Guterres’ “Our Common Agenda” we are aware of the urgency to impact change with actions to reset policies and our commitments to be inclusive with gender balanced agendas. In addition, by working in partnership we can build back from the pandemic with secure safe environments for Cultures of Peace. This is our best road map for going forward to achieve the success of the UN2030 Sustainable Development Agenda to “Leave No One Behind.”
