Welcome
How the IPU provides support to parliaments in the SDGs domain
The briefing will offer parliaments the opportunity to acquire information on how the IPU
can help parliaments strengthen their work to effectively deliver on the SDGs, and how it
can tailor its support based on
parliaments’ national contexts
and COVID-19 health
measures currently in force. More specifically, participants will be provided with practical
information on how the IPU can help facilitate: the SDGs self-assessment exercise;
introductory and complementary activities to the SDGs self-assessment; capacity building
activities with focus on health (in relation to universal health coverage, health emergency
preparedness, and women’s, children’s and adolescents’ health)
and climate change (for
example, on climate legislation, clean and renewable energy, a green COVID-19
recovery); as well as virtual parliamentary exchanges to discuss current challenges and
opportunities to contribute to SDGs realization.
