Countries will convene this summer for Stockholm+50, a high-level meeting that aims to accelerate action on sustainable development. Drawing inspiration from the original 1972 UN Conference, which led to a flurry of activity, including the establishment of new environmental ministries, the passage of environmental legislation around the world, and the birth of the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) itself, Stockholm+50 aims to do no less. Its goal is to spur progress to deliver on the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) – a shared vision to end poverty, rescue the planet, and build a peaceful world, by 2030. The conference will convene from 2-3 June 2022 in Stockholm, Sweden. Participants highlighted:
• The importance of collective action and stakeholder mobilization, including different forms of indigenous and traditional knowledge systems;
• The need to recognize and deal with conflicts of interest through both voluntary and binding forms of governance; • The need to address the decades-old clash between environmental objectives and economic systems, which poses a “systemic” barrier to change; • The need for global solutions to planetary problems; • The need for breaking down sectoral silos; and • The importance of incorporating indigenous knowledge into solutions.
