Achieving SDG 16 through digital solutions to enable transparency and efficiency.
Technology has the potential to boost government efficiency, transparency, responsiveness, and citizen trust; it can enable the achievement of SDG 16 and can thus support all SDGs. However, the capacity to leverage technology for public sector transformation is uneven and challenged by the digital divide. This webinar will show good cases from the UN E-Government Survey 2020, and discuss how technology and the digital transformation can support the public sector and the achievement of the SDGs around the world.
Join us for the first ever LIVE Global GoalsCast taping that will be a wrap up to Global Goals Week. Cohosts Claudia Romo Edelman and Edie Lush will be joined by special guests to share key learnings and recommended follow up actions after a week filled with international dialogues, proposed solutions, and calls to action across the 17 Sustainable Development goals and beyond.
The live recording will be followed by a high-level networking opportunity to encourage the creation of networks of support that will continue long past the week’s end.
Every year, the UN LGBTI Core Group has an event at the beginning of a new General Assembly session.

The scale of human suffering and injustice requires us to question our humanity. How did we get here? How have we normalized injustice towards the world’s most vulnerable? Where do we go from here?
As the world gather during the 75th session of the United Nations General Assembly and as partners to Global Goals Week, we invite you to join us to learn how to use transformative storytelling to shift the narrative and inspire action on critical social and political issues.
Through real-life stories of courage and purpose, Finding Humanity Podcast takes listeners into the heart of the most complex social and political issues facing our world. By bringing you voices from the front lines of war and injustice, we peel back the layers that surround today’s massive challenges to inspire the activist in each of us. Finding Humanity weaves insights from world leaders, human rights and development experts at leading institutions and United Nations officials, while providing listeners with tangible steps to make a difference. Finding Humanity is a joint production of the Humanity Lab Foundation and Hueman Group Media. The inaugural season is made possible in part by The Elders.

Since the launch of the Sustainable Development Goals, many businesses have taken them to heart, moved away from traditional Corporate Social Responsibility, and moved toward a deeper purpose. As we enter into the Decade of Action, facing a global pandemic and increased social unrest, governments and nonprofits cannot reach these goals alone. It has never been more important for businesses to join the effort.
Hosted by Can & Will, the creative studio at the heart of social impact, this event is for small to medium sized business owners who want to use the power of their business platforms to create sustainable change within their own communities. Business owners will gain industry insights and tools for defining an authentic purpose by integrating the Sustainable Development Goals into their business practices and marketing strategies.

The world is facing a multitude of crises and as COVID-19 has spread, it has underscored how interconnected our world is and the importance of science in ensuring a sustainable future. Tackling each of these crises requires scientific knowledge and expertise for diagnosing challenges and developing solutions. Stronger international cooperation and greater collaboration between policymakers and scientists are needed to mobilize science to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in every country.
On October 8 2020, Springer Nature and the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN) with its Thematic Research Network on Data and Statistics (TReNDS) will host a three hour virtual conference on science for a sustainable future. This global virtual conference will bring together policymakers, government representatives, UN officials, as well as leading scientists from around the world to discuss the role of science in achieving the SDGs.
The purpose of the gathering on the Objectives of Sustainable Development is to share why it is important to talk about sustainability and to explain what each of the SDGs consist of. To this end, context data and figures are presented about each of them, which show the urgency of their implementation. The members of the United Nations team participating in the Citizen Ambassadors Program will lead the session.
This event seeks to teach the importance of Agenda 2030 and sustainable development goals and place great emphasis on reducing inequalities by encouraging sign language learning.
Within the framework of Agenda 2030, we believe that to achieve SDG 8, all young people must have access to formal and decent work. Rural youth have a fundamental role in the development of the country, since they are the main engine of economic growth as well as the guardians of food security. In spite of the limitations present in rural areas, many young people have been knocking them down through effort and dedication. They not only seek their personal well-being, but also benefit and empower their communities. We invite you to know the stories that encourage us to continue fighting and working for a more just Peru.
Through the forum “Play for the SDGs,” we discussed what the SDGs are and why they are important. With the help of the director of the SDG Regional Observatory of the Universidad of the Andes, we will provide relevant information about their implementation in LAC and specifically in Colombia, in relation to the My World 2030 survey. Allies of this event include SDG Regional Observatory of the University of the Andes.
The purpose of this activity is to allow invited panelists to comment on the importance of the SDGs and to provide a message to the youth so that they can learn about the objectives of sustainable development. The activity will take place on Tuesday, September 29th through a live transmission from the website of Amtasiñani Bolivia.
