#UNIDO #HLPF side event "A New Era of Industrial Policies for Accelerating the Achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals" is happening next Monday! Please stay tuned.🎙️ The emphasis on good industrial policies is shared by the #BridgeforCities event. At the core of our event lies the vibrant relationship between #industry and #cities.🔗 https://lnkd.in/giEbUaah Industries concentrated in urban areas drive economic growth, job creation, and infrastructure development. However, this symbiosis has also led to environmental challenges, notably carbon emissions. 🍀 By fostering collaboration and innovation, we can transform this relationship into a force for #sustainability, mitigating emissions, and creating greener, more resilient cities.🌆 Scheduled from 📅9 to 11 October 2024, this year’s edition of Bridge for Cities will address a wide range of challenges and solutions associated with #urbanization, under the theme of 🌟“Innovative Solutions for the Cities of Tomorrow”. A series of segments, including a high-level Opening Ceremony, Ministerial Plenary, Mayors Dialogue, and Financing Roundtable, will jointly provide a platform for city representatives and urban stakeholders to explore actionable strategies to address urban challenges while maximizing the opportunities presented by the urbanization wave.✅ Please stay tuned to #BridgeforCities 2024: 🌐 https://lnkd.in/gdw6QZ2K

Invitation: "Upholding Human Rights and Values ⚡ Navigating Threats to Peace, Democracy, Climate Action, and Civil Society in Preparation for the Summit of the Future" by ECE-RCEM ❓ Official HLPF 2024 Side Event 📅  9th July, 14:00-15:30 CEST 📍 Online 📣 Register: https://lnkd.in/dxSpwJHX Join us for a critical discussion on the interconnected challenges facing civilians and the general public in UNECE’s member states, as we prepare for the Pact of the Future. As we approach the development of this pivotal document, which aims to shape international cooperation for years to come, we must address the significant threats to peace, democracy, climate action, and civil society engagement posed by the rise of populist right-wing political rhetoric. This rhetoric, often marked by nationalist agendas and authoritarian policies, endangers the fundamental values and principles of modern societies. This event will explore these challenges at global, regional, and national levels, focusing on countries where civic space is increasingly restricted. We will discuss practical approaches to safeguarding democratic principles, enhancing climate action, and promoting active civil society participation. Furthermore, our discussions will contribute to the Summit of the Future, ensuring that the values and principles we uphold are prominently reflected in the outcome of the Pact of the Future. We look forward to your participation and insights. #HLPF2024 #FeministsWantSystemChange #UNECE #SummitOfTheFuture #civicspace #climateaction #peace
