Launch Event of the GO for SDGs Initiative

This side event introduced examples of expanded wealth measures and demonstrated the ways in which they can be used to prioritize post-COVID recovery investments while promoting and contributing to SDGs 8 (decent work and economic growth), 13 (climate action), and 17 (partnerships for the Goals).

The Global Environment Facility (GEF) Council participated in a consultation with civil society organizations (CSOs) on the theme, “Enhancing Climate Resilience: The Role of Civil Society, and Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities".

The high-level meeting is part of the Financing for Development in the Era of COVID-19 and Beyond initiative launched by the UN Secretary-General and the Prime Ministers of Canada and Jamaica in May 2020.
