This High Level Political Forum (HLPF) 2023 side event examines the COVID-19 impact across Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the goals' integrated, indivisible, and interlinked nature. The event will also be the pre-book launch of Bali Swain and Min’s edited volume on Interlinkages between Sustainable Development Goals.
The pandemic has particularly emphasized the interlinkages (synergies and trade-offs) between various SDGs, particularly water (SDG 6), energy (SDG 7), industry (SDG 9), sustainable cities (SDG 11) and partnership (SDG 16). These SDGs are deeply interconnected with other SDGs. Through identifying strong synergies and trade-offers across goals and related targets, countries can design integrated, coherent policies and prioritize the allocation of scarce resources to build back from the pandemic while advancing the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The event will investigate interlinkages at the thematic, regional and country levels to discuss examples of possible applications, implications, and best practices.
