Join us at UN ESCAP Bangkok- Asia Pacific Forum on Sustainable Development - Side Event

28 Mar 2023 (12:15- 13:30)

Overview and Comparative Analysis of SDG Implementation in Asia through the Voluntary National Reviews (2016 to 2022) and People’s Scorecard (PSC) (2020-2022)

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are at the crossroads in 2023, a half-way mark of the 2030 Agenda roadmap (2026-2030). Alarm bells are already ringing in many monitoring reports by both international organizations and Civil Society Organisations (CSOs). In only a few countries SDGs are on the right track, while many are too slow, behind schedule, or off-track. 2023 is a time to critically assess the SDGs for the last 7 years (2016-2022), to draw on the lessons learned, and to formulate strategies for the coming 7/8 years (2023-2030). The proposed side-event aims at providing a comprehensive diagnosis of the status, trends and challenges to SDGs through international comparative data and monitoring reports by research institutions and CSOs such as Voluntary National Review (VNR) Report, Sustainable Development Solution Network (SDSN), People’s Scorecard (PSC), etc.

Policy Coherence for Sustainable Development in Asia and the Pacific

[Please note this is a VIRTUAL EVENT]

Date - March 30th

Time - 10 AM- 11.15 AM BKK Time

Organiser: Karachi Research Chair (KRC)

Co-organisers: Asia Development Alliance (ADA), Asia Pacific Research Network (APRN), Asia Pacific Regional CSOs Engagement Mechanism (APRCEM), ECODECON

The Asia Pacific region is at the receiving end of severity of climate crisis, rapid biodiversity loss and ever-increasing pollution, with Asia accounting for one-third of the extreme weather events and climate disasters. The region is off track on the 2030 Agenda, unlikely to be achieved before 2065, while efficient COVID 19 recovery remains a pipedream urgently requiring policy coherence, across national, regional, and global processes.  The side event explores country progress on Policy Coherence for Climate Action in Asia and the Pacific, in the light of PCSD report, as well as recommends strategies for inclusive, efficient, and accountable governance at the national levels that dovetailed with a regional and global call for action.
