What: New report uncovers the bold action to tackle the triple planetary crisis, accelerate SDGs and boost climate action 

Stockholm+50: a healthy planet for the prosperity of all – our responsibility, our opportunity,  was a high-level international meeting held from 2-3 June 2022 in Stockholm, co-hosted by Sweden and Kenya to commemorate the 1972 United Nations Conference on the Human Environment and celebrate 50 years of global environmental action. Anchored in the Decade of Action, “Stockholm+50” brought together a diversity of voices from around the world to accelerate delivery of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the Paris Agreement and the post-2020 global Biodiversity Framework, and to encourage the adoption of green post-COVID-19 recovery plans.  

As part of the participatory and inclusive Stockholm+50 process designed to reflect the richness and diversity of all voices and perspectives, the Government of Sweden supported national consultations across 56 developing countries. The national consultations stimulated an inclusive gender-responsive whole-of-society and whole-of-government dialogue on the main themes of Stockholm+50 as they relate to each national context.   The Stockholm+50 national consultations engaged over 50,000 people across 56 countries through the in-person, hybrid, and virtual events and resulted in bold messages to the international community and the national governments calling for the increased ambition and accelerated implementation of NDCs by all members states, promoting integrated Nature-based Solutions needed for a green recovery and accelerating SDG progress, and tackling pollution crisis. The side event will share and reflect on the key messages from the Stockholm+50 national consultations.
