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.
