The webinar had the aim to expand and understand the six key transformation areas, developed in the Global Sustainable Development Report 2019 (external link, opens in a new window), namely:
- Human well-being and capabilities
- Sustainable and just economies
- Sustainable food systems and healthy nutrition
- Energy de-carbonisation with universal access
- Sustainable urban and peri-urban development, and
- Securing global environmental commons.
Another objective of the webinar was to identify opportunities and roles for SDG advisory bodies in these transformations. The following topics were explored by the panel speakers:
- Unpacking the SDG transformation and opportunities for SDG advisory bodies to play a catalytic role, Dr Eeva Furman (Finnish Commission for Sustainable Development)
- Utilizing the transformation areas in monitoring and measurement of SDG progress (with examples from Colombia), Ivonne Lobos-Alva (Stockholm Environment Institute, SEI Bogotá)
- Adapting the six transformation areas to national policymaking. What does it mean for policy processes and what role for national advisory bodies? – with examples from Germany, Dr Hannah Janetschek (German Council for Sustainable Development).
The webinar was moderated by Carlos Applewhaite, a Development Analyst at the Planning Institute of Jamaica.
