UN Civil Society Conference - August 27, 2019

Facebook post: UN conference day two - today most of the sessions I attended focused on how to enhance the role of civil society in implementing and monitoring Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 11 - https://www.un.org/sustainabledevelopment/cities/ - the focus of this conference. I also attended a session about increasing awareness about the importance of multilateralism - nation states working together, and fighting the tendency of some to be unilateral (solitary) - as that can lead to a lack of communication, which can eventually lead to more global conflict. We also need to incorporate local and regional governments, as well as other actors like civil society, public and private organizations, companies and institutions, NGOs, academia, etc. - and get them involved in dialogues and cooperative partnerships with each other and the UN to improve the SDG 11 indicators. All of this has been part of the discussion at this conference.
