Stockholm+50 will be held 2-3 June 2022 in Stockholm, Sweden, to commemorate
the 1972 United Nations Conference on the Environment and celebrate 50 years of
global environmental action. By recognizing the importance of multilateralism
in tackling the Earth’s triple planetary crisis – climate, nature, and
pollution – the event aims to act as a springboard to accelerate the
implementation of the
UN Decade of Action to
deliver the Sustainable Development Goals, including the 2030 Agenda, Paris
Agreement on climate change, the post-2020 global Biodiversity Framework, and
encourage the adoption of green post-COVID-19 recovery plans.
The Towards Stockholm+50
project is a joint initiative by Stakeholder Forum for a Sustainable
Future and Forum for utvikling og miljø (the Norwegian Forum for Development
and Environment) ForUM. A stakeholder-led initiative funded by the United
Nations Environment Program’s Civil Society Unit with support from the
Government of Sweden, Towards Stockholm+50’s mission is to engage the widest
audience of non-state actors – globally – to inform them about the legacy of 50
years of implementing environmental policies with a series of lectures and
other resources. Well-informed stakeholders can then be fully engaged to plan,
prepare, implement, and follow up on the Stockholm+50 conference.
In addition to the official process of the Major Groups coordination on
their joint statements led by the
Major
Groups Facilitating Committee (MGFC), there are additional Regional
Consultation meetings. Jointly organised by the United Nations Environment
Programme (UNEP) and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), they aim
to engage a broad range of stakeholder groups. Known as the UNEP/UNDP
Global
Opportunities for Sustainable Development Goals (GO4SDGs) initiative,
this effort will organise a series of regional multi-stakeholder consultations
for Asia and the Pacific, Latin America and the Caribbean, Africa, West Asia,
and Europe. The outcomes will be collected and will be the basis for the
Peoples’ Environmental Narrative.
Those regional consultations will take place virtually during April and May
2022 using the KUDO multilingual web conferencing platform. To see the framing
questions for these national and regional consultations, click here.
