Session Details

This event will demonstrate that sustainable development in complex settings is essential for the achievement of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. It will also demonstrate that such development is possible and can be integrated with a humanitarian response. Indeed, this event will profile initiatives intended to deliver sustainable development progress rapidly and at scale in complex settings. The event will bring together voices from forcibly displaced communities, Member States, as well as high-level experts in the public and private sector to discuss the mobilization of rapid development support from the start of crises and in complex settings.

Ongoing and new crises around the world are among the critical factors preventing countries from reaching the SDGs. One quarter of humanity ¨C roughly two billion people ¨C currently live in conflict-affected contexts, and over 110 million people have been forcibly displaced as of May 2023. Moreover, the increasingly protracted nature of conflicts, coupled with rising climate-related disasters, is exacerbating the world¡¯s faltering progress on development.
