The UN Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) will convene a meeting on “triple win” approaches to sustainable development. The meeting will include panel discussions on policy convergence and scaling up, and examine how science, technology and innovation can contribute to integration for triple-win solutions in the energy and agriculture sectors. The meeting also aims to identify ways in which integrated policy actions, some of which may involve short-term trade-offs in one dimension, may result in longer-term benefits in all areas of development, and provide guidance on integrating the three dimensions.
