How can human security help achieve the 2030 Agenda for sustainable development and its associated Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)? That’s one of the key issues being examined at a high-level event today (7 July) at UN Headquarters in New York. Organised by the UN Human Security Unit, the event will feature a panel discussion providing global, regional, UN system and civil society perspectives on applying human security to Agenda 2030. Delegates will take the opportunity to share experiences and lessons learned on how a human security approach can help strengthen strategies, tools and partnerships to accelerate integrated and preventive actions towards achieving the SDGs. IMO’s Chris Trelawny is in attendance.
