Organizers: Government of Catalonia, Catalunya 2030, and Catesco

On July 13, 2026 , academic experts, representatives of state and regional government networks and civil society representatives will participate in New York at the “Transforming the World After 2030” event, a meeting that aims to generate a multilevel and multi-stakeholder dialogue on the challenges and opportunities of the future international sustainable development agenda.

Organizers: SDGs Today, the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa, the Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation (UNECA), and the United Nations Statistics Division (UNSD)

This virtual side event will explore how strengthened partnerships and innovative financing mechanisms can help transform SDG data systems into sustainable public goods that drive development outcomes. It will focus on three interconnected dimensions: (i) data production and technical capacity, (ii) improved partnerships with academia and other stakeholders at the national level, and (iii) strengthening national discourse and public debate to help ensure evidence meaningfully informs planning and SDG implementation. By convening governments, universities, multilateral institutions, and development partners, the event will identify practical pathways fostering collaboration and building resilient data ecosystems that can respond to emerging development challenges and support SDG progress.

Organizers: SDSN Youth

Through the project 'A Youth Vision of the World’s Future,' recent regional consultations organized by SDSN Youth highlighted common concerns shared by young people across regions regarding the future of work and the skills needed. This intergenerational dialogue will create a space to reflect on the evolving landscape of work and how youth can navigate a rapidly changing world shaped by technology, climate transitions, and shifting labor markets. Future-ready skills and inclusive support systems are essential to ensuring that young people can lead and contribute meaningfully.

Organizers: Science Panel for the Amazon

The first webinar will introduce participants to the concept of connectivity and its multiple dimensions (e.g., ecological, social, cultural, economic) as a central theme of the AR2025 Report. The session will explore how the understanding of connectivity has evolved from the Amazon Assessment Report 2021 to AR2025 and how this framework can help address the complex challenges facing the Amazon.

Organizers: The SDSN, SDSN Türkiye, and SDSN Australia, New Zealand, and the Pacific

The third session of the “From Science to Solutions: Mobilizing Knowledge, Partnerships and Action Ahead of COP31" webinar series will examine how circular economy strategies — including waste reduction, sustainable supply chains, and systemic resource management reforms — can drive scalable climate action while decoupling economic growth from environmental degradation.

Organizers: The SDSN, SDSN Türkiye, and SDSN Australia, New Zealand, and the Pacific

The fourth and final session of the "From Science to Solutions: Mobilizing Knowledge, Partnerships and Action Ahead of COP31" webinar series will focus on scaling and aligning climate finance through improved frameworks, taxonomies, and public-private coordination to turn global commitments into credible, measurable, and investable climate transition pathways.
