New York, New York City, March 28, 2022 (Cision PRWEB) - The Center for Global Agenda (CGA) at Unbuilt Labs is leading the global stakeholder consultation for the Recommended UN Action Plan to Close the Compliance Gap, a publication at the United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR). Action Plan CCG will recommend directing impact investment funds and efforts towards four main areas of diplomacy — Area 1: Cultural Diplomacy, Area 2: Science Diplomacy, Area 3: Preventive Diplomacy, and Area 4: Disaster Diplomacy, with five specific themes within each of the areas. Anyone may now submit a public statement, and organizations that wish to co-host 1 or 2 workshops and co-create guidelines with CGA are encouraged to apply for consultative status. More details are available here.
At a time when what doing good means constantly changes, we can recommend with a significantly higher degree of certainty that these methods will align non-state actor initiatives from the private sector, academia, or civil society, with sustainable development and the UN SDGs.
The Action Plan is rooted in the theory and practice of global diplomacy: the set of methods, principles, and actions to achieve the common interests of the global community. It is how stakeholders coordinate across the incredibly complex global landscape and deliver impact.
Below is a tentative list of themes by area —
Area 1: Cultural Diplomacy
Theme 1: Media and Information Literacy
Theme 2: Art and Design
Theme 3: Language, Literature, and Poetry
Theme 4: Music
Theme 5: Sports Diplomacy
Area 2: Science Diplomacy
Theme 6: Science Communications
Theme 7: Ethical Research
Theme 8: Responsible Technology
Theme 9: Living Labs
Theme 10: Indigenous Diplomacy
Area 3: Preventive Diplomacy
Theme 11: Mental Health
Theme 12: International Law Education
Theme 13: Women’s Education
Theme 14: Social and Political Participation
Theme 15: Sustainable Economies
Area 4: Disaster Diplomacy
Theme 16: Strategic Foresight
Theme 17: Youth Diplomacy
Theme 18: Academics and Researchers
Theme 19: Vulnerable Populations
Theme 20: Disaster Risk Reduction
Together with your support, we will co-create guidelines for 5 non-state actor stakeholder groups in each of the respective Themes during the global stakeholder consultation process.
(A) IOs, NGOs, INGOs
(B) Academia
(C) Civil Society
(D) MNCs
(E) Startups and New Ventures
We invite everyone - whether you are an individual or an organization - to participate in the global stakeholder consultation process. Anyone can now submit a public statement. Organizations that wish to co-host 1 or 2 workshops with us can also apply for consultative status with the Center for Global Agenda (CGA) at Unbuilt Labs. Thank you for your time and your support.
We strongly encourage historically underrepresented people and communities to participate in the process.
