UN76 Dialogue: Innovative Technologies Impact the SDGs
Friday, January 28, 2022 @1PM – 3:30PM, EST
We will share various approaches to highlight stakeholder engagement for the UN 17 Sustainable Development Goals with a dedicated focus from leaders and participants of all sectors. This will include a zero tolerance for green-washing and corruption, upholding human rights, and advocacy for an inclusive global economy the supports access to innovative technologies and connectivity for all. Together with the UN Global Compact, the World Economic Forum, and 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.”
