Dear colleagues,

For all those who are interested in work on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), we want to pre-announce a PEER webinar on SDGs and risks.

The webinar is hosted by the Partnership for European Environmental Research (PEER). Please join our PEER-TRISD webinar on Tuesday, May 18, at 16-17 CET.

More details on the webinar will follow early May.

Why could this webinar be of interest to you?

The UN Agenda 2030, and the 17 sustainable development goals (SDGs), play a prominent role in EU green and just transition policy. While the SDGs require a holistic and integrative approach, a meaningful way of advancing knowledge generation and application is tackling an approach that the PEER organisations already share: ecological risks alongside other sustainability challenges, and seeking application.

SDGs and risks in the focus

PEER-TRISD stands for PEER Research on Sustainable Development Goals: Tackling and managing risks with SDGs. It is a PEER project that started in 2018.

PEER-TRISD has created an understanding on what SDG-related risks, SDG and risk monitoring as well as their governance in the public and private sectors. The project has co-created recommendations to support risk management in the implementation of SDGs in the policy field and among the practitioners. The project has conducted case studies from 5 countries to exemplify risk management and SDG implementation.

PEER-TRISD has held workshops in 2019 and 2020, and produced a policy brief and an article

The webinar, open for all PEER members, will summarise insights from PEER-TRISD, and provide ideas for future work on the SDGs, resilience and adaptation in PEER organisations.
