ABOUT 

Under the backdrop of the UN Secretary-General’s global call to “rescue the Sustainable Development Goals,” this side event presents an important opportunity for countries to identify best practices and persisting challenges towards using PCSD as a means of implementation for the SDGs and as a framework for increasing capacities for accelerating progress on SDGs and advancing sustainable development for 2030 and beyond.

This side event aims to: 

  • Foster peer-learning dialogue on the practical application of PCSD as well as challenges for setting coherent policies with SDGs, with a focus on sharing country practices for addressing interlinkages across policy areas covered by SDGs 6, 7, 9 and 11
  • Provide an opportunity for participants to take stock of their institutional and public service capacities to deliver PCSD, highlighting the main persisting barriers and challenges and sharing potential solutions
  • Launch the new OECD report on PCSD, which highlights some of the results of the OECD survey conducted to assess the implementation of the OECD Council Recommendation on PCSD
  • Share lessons learned from the event on the OECD Knowledge Platform on PCSD, launched at the HLPF side event in 2022
