About the Session

Bridging the gap between local realities and the level of ambition enshrined in the SDGs requires
continuous societal learning processes. These need to be organized in a way that takes the interests
and views of the poorest and most vulnerable into account. Inclusive, participatory and transparent
follow-up and review mechanisms of the 2030 Agenda are key to achieve this. Inequalties often
manifest in lack of access to natural resources. Overcoming disempowerment of those most vulnerable
requires them having a say in the governance and management of natural resources. The kind of data
we collect through follow-up and review mechanisms and the way we collect it can open up ways for
the poorest and most vulnerable to hold Governments accountable.
