The International Development Law Organization (IDLO), in collaboration with the Swiss Federal Office of the Environment (FOEN) and SwedB, is organizing a workshop to discuss recent advances under global agendas on environmental sustainability and law and justice. IDLO and other agencies working on law and justice interventions will share legal innovations emerging to support integration and mainstreaming efforts within the biodiversity, climate change, disaster risk reduction (DRR), gender and other related agendas. Participants will be invited to join interactive sessions to better define “common language and goals” across these interlinked development challenges, and to discuss ways to advance the design of effective law and justice approaches to achieve the integrated environmental sustainability goals within the 2030 Agenda. The workshop will focus on several guiding questions: What connections and synergies can help achieve interlinked goals across respective environmental agendas? What is SDG 16 and how can it contribute to achieving the environmental sustainability goals under the 2030 Agenda? What are elements of a law and justice approach to achieving environmental sustainability under the SDGs? What kind of support and partnerships can catalyse action to use law and justice approaches to implement environmental sustainability goals under the 2030 Agenda?
