Towards SDG 4 0 Reply

Overview

On 1 January 2016, the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development — adopted by world leaders in September 2015 at an historic UN Summit — officially came into force. Over the next fifteen years, with these new Goals that universally apply to all, countries will mobilize efforts to end all forms of poverty, fight inequalities and tackle climate change, while ensuring that no one is left behind. With this purpose, Dialogue Café Association is organising a cycle of debates focused on the SDGs and 2030 Agenda in order to contribute to its achievement and raising awareness. Sessions focused on youth contribution to the 2030 Agenda, Education, Gender Equality and Climate Change are organised under this thematic umbrella.

In this framework, Dialogue Café Association is inviting local authorities, educators, civil society organisations, experts, youth organisations and international organisations to discuss about how best we can achieve SDG 4: Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all.

Participants will share the challenges confronted in their respective countries and good practices related to job creation, workforce, and equal access to quality education – primary, secondary and tertiary or vocational – as well as education for sustainable development.

This session will be held on 26 February from 15h to 17h London time.

Youth Leaders 4 SDGs & 2030 Agenda 0 Reply

Overview

“The Sustainable Development Goals  are the blueprint to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all. They address the global challenges we face, including those related to poverty, inequality, climate, environmental degradation, prosperity, and peace and justice. The Goals interconnect and in order to leave no one behind, it is important that we achieve each Goal and target by 2030”. With this purpose, Dialogue Café Association is organising a cycle of debates focused on the SDGs and 2030 Agenda in order to contribute to its achievement and raising awareness.

As young leaders of tomorrow and today, youth has a key role in engaging with the future. Today, there are 1.8 billion people between the ages of 10-24—the largest generation of youth in history. But close to 90 per cent of them live in developing countries. Numbers are expected to grow. Until 2030, about 1.9 billion young people are projected to turn 15 years old.[1] Hence, over the next fifteen years, youth should be a key driver for the successful implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Youth should play the role of critical thinkers, change-makers, innovators, communicators, and leaders.

In this framework, Dialogue Café Association is inviting young leaders to discuss about how best we can achieve SDGs and how young people can be involved in the promotion of the 2030 Agenda. During the session, participants will discuss also about the Youth 2030 Strategy, the World Youth Report “Youth and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development” and the campaigns launched in this context such as Be the Change, LittlexLittle, Not too Young to Run.
