Further information

The second Global Forum Network Meeting brought together more than 30 international multi-stakeholder platforms, councils, and similar advisory bodies for sustainable development in Cape Town, South Africa. While the meeting primarily focused on know¬ledge exchange and peer learning between network members, it also gave opportunity to take a deep dive into South Africa’s journey towards implementing the 2030 Agenda. In interactive exchanges, participants discussed their daily work experiences, limitations as well as levers to overcome barriers in SDG implementation. The joint experience in Cape Town evolved into the demand for a joint call to action, based on the recommendations of UN Secretary-General António Guterres’s proposals in “Our Common Agenda”.
