ALL ABOUT THE EVENT
Chaired by the Ambassador of Azerbaijan, Mr. Vaqif Sadiqov, the 2020 Regional Forum focused on how Voluntary National Reviews (VNRs) contribute to the realization of the SDGs in UNECE countries, which concrete actions can accelerate SDG progress and how economic transformation, finance and technology can contribute to realizing the SDGs.
The Regional Forum was preceded by a virtual Civil Society Meeting which channelled and coordinated the inputs of more than 150 civil society partners from across the region. Alongside the formal agenda, several webinars offered further spaces for interactive exchange and online discussions.
