Overview<\/strong><\/h4>\n

We are at a decisive moment for the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals with the UN launching the Decade of Action to make sure we realise the SDGs by 2030 while governments and civil society are grappling with the impacts of the COVID-19 crisis. This side event will explore the crucial role played by civil society organisations in guaranteeing a \u2018whole of society\u2019 approach in both the SDG monitoring and review process around Voluntary National Reviews (VNRs) as well as for the recovery measures after COVID-19.<\/p>\n

Civil society participation ensures that all voices are heard and that women, young people as well as particularly vulnerable groups are adequately involved so as to live up to the principle of leaving no one behind. This side event will provide you with an opportunity to exchange about civil society\u2019s role in working towards policy coherence for sustainable development and bringing transformative change during the Decade of Action.<\/p>\n
