WORLD SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT FORUM (WSDF)
Dr. Pachauri on Why the World Sustainable Development Forum
The World Sustainable Development Forum (WSDF) is a global initiative to promote and mobilize global action for effective implementation of both the Paris Agreement on climate change and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) adopted by the UN General Assembly. WSDF’s relevance and role lies in acting as a facilitator for helping with implementation of actions required under these two sets of agreements. WSDF is in a unique position because of its convening power with those who can act to meet the priorities of society defined by the Paris Agreement and the SDGs. WSDF is working to analyze and facilitate the transformation of society towards a post fossil fuel future while implementing the critical goals identified in the SDGs.
The Second World Sustainable Development Forum on March 2020, was held in memory of Dr. Pachauri as politicians, scientists, policy makers, business leaders, academicians and members of civil society including youth from twenty seven countries across the world came together in Durango, Mexico to share, discuss, and co-learn about translating dialogue into transformative action towards limiting warming to 1.5°C by the end of century, and meeting the Climate and Sustainable Development Goals.
