Dear colleagues, IISD is organizing an online event to help participants leverage available data to ground their SDG stories in national and international sustainable development trends. The one-hour session will:
- explore ways the SDGs affect the daily lives of people around the world - discuss the Voluntary National Review (VNR) process and its potential to increase transparency and accountability of national policymakers - map the SDGs data ecosystem and give reporters resources to inform their daily stories - offer insights for engaging with leaders and organizations within the UN system We have an amazing panel: - *Catherine Cheney*, Senior Editor for Special Coverage, Devex <https://www.devex.com/> / Manager, Strategic Relationships, Solutions Journalism Network <https://www.solutionsjournalism.org/> - *Martina Donlon*, Climate Communications Lead, UN Department of Global Communications <https://www.un.org/en/department-global-communications> - *Pamela Falk*, Correspondent, US News & World Report <https://www.usnews.com/> - *Wangu Mwangi*, Team Leader and Writer, Earth Negotiations Bulletin <https://enb.iisd.org/> - *Heather Page*, Statistician, UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs <https://www.un.org/en/desa> The event is focused on journalists, but will provide academics new insights into available data and information on how countries are aiming to implement the SDGs.
