The time to act is now: Implementing the highly ambitious 2030 Agenda has to start without further delay at all levels. It offers a unique opportunity to transform development into sustainable development for all countries and all people. This video captures perspectives of international leaders from government, civil society, science and business, as well as the atmosphere at the first international conference in Berlin, Germany to focus on SDG implementation six months after the adoption by UN member states.
The event focused on opportunities and challenges, as well as the role of partnerships and participation in supporting effective implementation of the SDGs. The meeting was organized by the German Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture (BMEL) and the Institute for Advanced Sustainability Studies (IASS), and cohosts the Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI), the Institute for Sustainable Development and International Relations (IDDRI), Germanwatch, the World Centre for Sustainable Development (RIO+ Centre), Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN) Germany, Fachagentur Nachwachsende Rohstoffe (FNR) and International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD).
