About the event

 

Standards can provide a powerful tool for accelerating progress on the SDGs, by collating expert knowledge and best practices to help governments and businesses to achieve economic, environmental and social objectives and promoting coordinated action. This session will explore how to maximise the potential of standards to deliver sustainable solutions to key challenges facing the UNECE region and beyond, including climate change, digitisation, COVID-19 recovery and gender inequalities. It will explore UNECE’s unique role as a normative organisation, the role of standards in trade, and highlight key developments including the Gender Responsive Standards Initiative and ISO London Declaration.
