What is it about?
NGOs are recognized as pillars for the implementation of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), with the understanding that the State and its institutions cannot achieve the objectives of the 2030 Agenda by themselves. This situation is reflected in the very design of the 2030 Agenda, since, this sector had a very important role in the accompaniment of the initiatives, thematic consultations, contribution in terms of inputs and experiences, their participation in the process was generated in the form of coalitions organized by sectors, countries and regions.

Why is it important?
The EU must ensure each of the points set out in the 2017 Development Consensus, are taken into account when it adapts and proposes solutions for current problems in line with the 2030 Agenda. In this sense, it is necessary to follow up all the mechanisms and instruments both inside and outside the EU, in which the work of the NGOs is one of the main axes, in particular, the joint programming of cooperation between partners and the development of association modalities and knowledge management that derive of good practices that could be replicated.
Perspectives
How are non governmental organizations, stakeholders and other actors currently contributing to Sustainable Development - particularly in relation to vital environmental issues and climate matters? In the current rapidly evolving environment where Information Technology, the digital and modern economy - as well climate and environmental matters dominate leading topics, how can actors which represent such spheres - or businesses impacted by such matters contribute in promoting sustainable development goals?
