The Global Sustainable Development Report (GSDR) is a United Nations publication aimed to strengthen the science-policy interface at the High-Level Political Forum (HLPF) on Sustainable Development. Drafted by an independent group of scientists (IGS) appointed by the Secretary-General and supported by a task team of six UN-system agencies, the GSDR is published every four years.
For the 2023 report, the IGS is seeking inputs from experts from various disciplines (natural scientists, social scientists, policymakers, practitioners, etc.) from across the world. Inputs in the form of short responses to key questions, as well as the submission of relevant publications. They are interested both in peer-reviewed scientific publications and other sources of knowledge documented in written form, i.e. reports, working papers, ‘white’ papers, evaluations, etc.
Currently, contributions are requested in the form of: (1) Case studies (one successful case and one unsuccessful case) on how to accelerate progress across a range of SDGs, demonstrating practical applications of the interlinkages across goals and targets, and (2) examples on translating global goals into local actions.
The deadline is 1 November of this year. For more information click here.
