International Spillover Effects and Their Impact on #SDG Achievement Across Countries
Channel: SDSN
Date: 11/07/2022

The side event to the HLPF 2022 on International Spillover Effects, organized by the Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN) and the GIZ project “Supporting the SDSN” on behalf of BMZ, invites you to familiarize yourself with the latest research on #spillover data and policies in the context of the SDGs and to participate actively along leading experts and researchers of SDSN and OECD.

In a globalized and interconnected world, actions of one country can have positive or negative impacts on other countries concerning their ability to reach the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). ‘Spillover Effects’ exemplify the urgency for global responsibility and partnership as well as for coherent and integrated international policies. Outlining how many social and environmental problems are being systematically passed on to countries in the Global South, international spillovers can include greenhouse gas emissions that result in polar melt and rising seas, and which threaten to submerge whole countries and coastal communities around the world. That same dynamic applies to a tolerance for poor labor standards in international supply chains that harm the poor, particularly women, in many countries of the Global South.

Speakers:

Dr. Ingolf Dietrich, Commissioner for the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ)
Including interventions from Salma Dahir and Zach Wendling, from the Sustainable Development Solutions Network's (SDSN) index team
Carina Lindberg, Policy Analyst at the OECD’s Policy Coherence for Sustainable Development Unit
Moderated by: Emily Johnston, Co-Founder and CEO at Unity Effect
