Sustainable Recovery pledge launch
30 June 2021 @ 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM CEST
Free
Join the launch of the Sustainable Recovery pledge
COVID-19 continues to have a devastating effect on people and countries across the world. Not only does it take lives and affect livelihoods, economies and societies – it also poses serious threats to the enjoyment of human rights. And it is hampering progress towards achieving the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
As countries are preparing to build back after the pandemic, it is important that this is done using the 2030 Agenda, grounded in States’ human rights obligations, as well as the Paris Agreement, as the blueprint. But how exactly?
Join the high-level online event on Wednesday 30 June at 2:00-3:00 PM (CEST) and follow the launch of the Sustainable Recovery Pledge which until now has backing from 39 states across the world.
