Join SDSN and University College Dublin for “Partnerships in SDG Education and Training: towards curating, assessing and dissemination of a Global SDG Knowledge Commons,” a side event of the UN 2023 ECOSOC Partnership Forum.
The session outline the need for a Global SDG Knowledge Commons and multi-stakeholder partnerships that can mobilize education and training to share SDG knowledge across sectors and nations. Panelists will discuss how partnerships around education and training can enhance the role of knowledge sharing in achieving the targets of SDG 17.
Knowledge is not always free to access or oriented to the public good. Contributing to Global Knowledge Commons for the SDGs needs to be a norm.
SDG Knowledge needs to be disseminated into policy and practice at speed. How can HEIs, Corporates and Governments partner to achieve this?
The transfer of Knowledge to institutions in the global south needs to be a norm to ensure the Global Knowledge Commons can deliver a safe space for all humanity.
