On 9 and 10 December 2020, the Civil Society Action Committee took part in a multi-stakeholder conference, a two-day event, led by Impact17, looking at the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and partnerships to promote better societies.
For this initiative, the 17 SDGs were collated into four accessible themes:
- Sustainable society
- Technology & innovation
- Environment & nature
- Partnering for a Better World
Together with ICVA, the Action Committee was a co-organiser of the STEP event under the theme of sustainable society. They hosted 7 migration-related workshops within these two days, focused on partnerships and proposing concrete actions to all participants (and the private sector in particular) towards sustainable societies.
The aim of STEP into a Better World was to reach a broad community, generate outputs and actions, build new networks, encourage solutions and equip participants with a greater potential to collaborate for a better world.
