About this event
Delivering the SDGs: what are the existing mechanisms for public participation, for example, the lessons learned in citizens assemblies and SDG champions. Do people and communities and indeed Government know about the breadth of the SDG 2030 commitments – and what can be done to increase engagement around achieving the targets – and set stretch targets for ourselves? What new approaches, such as the People’s Transition, and community-led and owned climate actions, can help speed up achieving a just transition to a de-carbonized, sustainable, and biodiverse island in the context of Code Red timeframes to act?
About This Series:
23 February: Developing The Island Economy and Social Enterprise
3 March: Recovery from The Covid 19 Pandemic
9 March: Rural Connectivity & Sustainability
10 March: Digital Connectedness & Inclusion
Meeting our shared challenges through collaboration across the island of Ireland has been an effective strategy for organisations supporting communities across the island for many years. As the multiple challenges for communities and the global community deepen, there is an opportunity to respond by deepening collaboration. The Wheel and NICVA came together to create a programme of events to share practice and learn from existing work and develop new opportunities.
The aim of these initial meetings is to explore each of the five themes together and identify key stakeholders. We will ask relevant questions, such as, what a just recovery and just transition for a vibrant and sustainable future looks like, and how might rural connectivity, social enterprise development and digital inclusion be addressed for maximum impacts on an all-island basis.
The meetings are the beginning of identifying what approaches have worked for those collaborating with partners in Northern Ireland or the Republic of Ireland or for organisations that operate on an all-island basis.
Together we hope to find out what needs to be strengthened and what new approaches could be developed to increase effectiveness and remove policy and funding barriers.
The meetings will help design a pathway of sectorial engagement in the run up to 5 workshops that will yield 5 create reports that identify existing practice, challenges and barriers, and opportunities for future development.
