Seminar: How far are we on the road to sustainable development? (København)

The Global Sustainable Development Report (GSDR) is a key component of the mechanism to follow up and review progress on the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. It is intended to provide guidance from a scientific perspective that will support the implementation of the SDGs in ways that integrate economic, environmental and social dimensions.

The first draft of the report will be launched for public review and open for inputs in the week of 13 May. On this occasion, the IDA Young Development Professionals network has invited member of the expert group drafting the report Professor Katherine Richardson to present key insights from the report.

The event takes place in IDA on Monday 13 May from 17:30-20:00 with a sandwich break between 18:30 and 19:00, and will be a combination of presentation by Katherine Richardson and a possibility of providing input from meeting participants.
