Participants of the #SIDS4 Conference are invited to join our side event. “Building resilience through fostering green productive capacities, economic diversification and decent jobs opportunities: Innovative strategies and global partnerships for small island developing States”   27 May, 2024, 16:00-17:30 Room 3, American University of Antigua   The event is closely aligned with the Interactive Dialogue 1 (ID1) on “Revitalizing SIDS Economies for Accelerated and Sustainable Growth” and will showcase the necessity to build domestic, economy-wide productive capacities and institutions that enable SIDS’ economic diversification, advance structural transformation and enhanced resilience, as well as generate decent jobs and productive employment.   Productive capacities are the productive resources, entrepreneurial capabilities and production linkages that together determine a country's ability to produce goods and services and, ultimately, allow them to grow and develop. Productive capacities enable developing countries to be in “the driver’s seat” of their national development trajectories and accelerate economic diversification, as well as create decent jobs.   Chair: UN Trade and Development (UNCTAD)’s Secretary General Panel discussion: - Prime Minister of Samoa - Parliamentary Under Secretary of State, FCDO, UK - United Nations ESCAP's Executive Secretary - President of Camões I.P.

📅 🎟️There's still time to register for our upcoming Annual Stakeholder Event, which will take place in London on 12 September 2024. The world is facing significant challenges, the burden of which often falls disproportionately on those living in hashtag #LMICs. Collective action and international cooperation have paved the way for progress. But despite global efforts, advancement toward the hashtag #SDGs has slowed and is even regressing in some areas. We know that research is integral to finding the solutions we need to meet global challenges and set hashtag #InternationalDevelopment objectives on track. Furthermore, research partnership and science diplomacy remain a shared language for cooperation in an increasingly volatile world. As crises converge today, we need commitment to, and investment in, research. This will be vital to deliver a healthier and more equitable tomorrow. Join UKCDR and our expert panel for a timely dialogue on why research and research investment matter now. The panelists will offer a range of perspectives on this topic from across the research ecosystem. The discussion will be moderated by Ehsan Masood, Nature's Bureau Chief for Editorials, Africa and the Middle East. Panelists include: Dr Joanes Atela, Founder and Executive Director, Africa Research and Impact Network Professor Charlotte Watts – Chief Scientific Advisor, FCDO Dr Jaideep Gupte – Director of Research, Strategy and Innovation, Arts & Humanities Research Council Professor Melissa Leach – Executive Director, Cambridge Conservation Initiative and Interim Chair of the Strategic Coherence in ODA-funded Research Board ➡️ https://bit.ly/3W5Dg4V
