Recognizing the important roles that civil society play in delivering on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including in mobilizing citizens, the Civil Society Dialogue, facilitated by UN Foundation, is organized on the first day of the SDG Action Weekend ahead of the SDG Summit and UN General Assembly High-Level Week.
In the midst of an unprecedented set of interlocking crises, and at the midpoint of the implementation of the 2030 Agenda, Civil Society is a major driving force for a transformative implementation of the SDGs.
Featuring UN Secretary-General António Guterres and UN Foundation President and CEO Elizabeth Cousens, the Civil Society Dialogue aims to contribute to the success of the SDG Summit, providing a space for a high-level dialogue to share learnings from the first half of the SDG cycle, share views on progress and provide suggestions for ways forward on implementation.
