This event will be part of the SDG Pavilion at the 2024 UN Climate Change Conference (UNFCCC COP29) and will focus on practical approaches to achieving policy coherence across different scales to drive effective climate action.
Despite the complexity of aligning policies across multiple sectors and governance levels, decisions related to environmental and development issues must adopt a socio-ecological systems approach to ensure just and equitable outcomes for all stakeholders, from local communities to global entities.
This session will explore pragmatic strategies for operationalizing policy coherence, reflecting on climate action by aligning interventions, institutional mandates, and governance systems towards sustainability and socio-ecological resilience. Through an interactive fishbowl discussion, experts will share insights from various domains, including environmental policy, health and wellbeing, disaster risk reduction, finance, governance and community engagement. The discussion will highlight the challenges and opportunities of adopting integrated approaches, and emphasize ways to address interconnected issues within the broader planetary crisis.
