Geneva SDG Community Coffee: Toward COP 27 – Climate action & the SDGs
This Community Coffee will focus on the interlinkages between Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 13 on climate action and the triple planetary crisis, which was formally recognized last year in the Glasgow Climate Pact at COP 26.
On October 27, a few days ahead of the 2022 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP 27), our monthly Geneva SDG Community Coffee will focus on the interlinkages between SDG 13 on climate action and the triple planetary crisis, which was formally recognized last year in the Glasgow Climate Pact at COP 26.
David Goodman, Policy Officer at the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), will speak to us about biodiversity in the context of COP 27 and where we stand with the proposed post-2020 global biodiversity framework.
Frédérique Bourque, Associate Human Rights Officer at the UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), will share insights on the decision of the UN General Assembly to declare access to a clean and healthy environment a universal human right.
