Multistakeholder Dialogue Resilience through inclusive partnerships: Catalyzing solutions across sectors

Today’s biggest challenges of climate change, pollution, biodiversity loss, desertification and land degradation, which are interconnected and threaten the well-being of humanity and planet are too complex for any one actor to solve alone. Accelerating sustainable solutions and effective responses for a safer and more resilient planet and catalyzing the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals requires all hands-on deck. It requires different sectors and actors to work together in an integrated manner. 

Watch here.

In this regard, multistakeholder partnerships are not optional but essential for addressing today’s urgent and interlinked environmental challenges. Cross-sector collaboration is therefore crucial for tackling environmental challenges by aligning goals across sectors, sharing knowledge, expertise, technologies, coalescing of local needs and interests, and pooling resources. The dialogue will explore how inclusive partnerships can address the root cause of environmental challenges, create innovative, sustainable, and equitable solutions, and deliver transformation at scale while creating impact for further improving people’s well-being. 

Bringing together diverse perspectives, combining different viewpoints, skills, and knowledge can lead to more innovative, creative, and sustainable solutions. This dialogue will focus on how inclusive partnerships — across sectors and from the grassroots level — can drive practical solutions to address environmental challenges.

It will consider how local/regional actions can be scaled up as well as provide an opportunity for Major Groups and Stakeholders to share good practices and practical sustainable solutions and how these can influence policy and strengthen accountability, with the goal of contributing towards a resilient planet.
