The SDG Village served as a focal point for high-level discussions on sustainable development, addressing a wide array of topics critical to attaining the SDGs. These included collaborative democracy for sustainable development, county engagements on SDGs, financing strategies with a gender perspective, and the nexus between human rights and SDG realisation. Additionally, the role of various stakeholders, such as parliamentarians, innovation startups, and media, in combating climate change and supporting climate innovation was explored. Discussions also revolved around accelerating gender equality and women’s economic empowerment, assessing progress on specific SDGs, and identifying policy and legal barriers to their achievement. Political parties’ involvement in localising SDGs was another significant area of focus.
