Dear Open SDGclub.Berlin 2019 participants,

it has been a real pleasure having you all in Berlin for this year’s Open SDGclub.Berlin meeting! There were many inspiring stories, meaningful exchanges, great initiatives and common conclusions. I assume we are all trying to sort this out for ourselves and our work back home. As promised, we will establish a meeting documentation.

For now THANK YOU!
Verónica

Mike from Canada sends the following message:

“It occurred to me that the following multi stakeholder policy brief might be of interest to the people in that session. It was a research brief that we just released a few weeks ago so it is hot of the press and relies on international case examples.

www.bccic.ca/new-policy-brief-effective-multi-stakeholder-engagement-to-realize-the-2030-agenda/

Then it occurred to me that this group might also benefit from the other briefs in a series of briefs we are doing… there are two available here and about seven or eight more coming out in the next two weeks.

Then if any groups are interested in Canada and the SDGs we have four quite lengthy reports that serve as shadow/spotlight reports that we release each year for the HLPF. This year we will release a new version of “Where Canada Stands”. Because it is not out yet we have a draft version regarding this year’s six goals under review…including SDG 16. Our latest report (DRAFT) is attached (not posted for the public yet). Because it is a work in progress for this year’s HLPF many people may find the content of interest.

Previous year’s reports are here:

Finally for those that are interested in sub national implementation we have a good report on this in the context of British Columbia Canada here:

www.bccic.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/The-Invisible-Mosaic-BC-and-the-Sustainable-Development-Goals.pdf

The result of that is a digital map of more than 11,000 groups that are working sub nationally in Canada. This is a really really cool digital map that is hot off the presses. We just released it. Indeed, there may be a lot of people interested in how we managed to cook this map up as it lists every single group we could find using a mapping team over a period of two years and it can be filtered by goal as well as indicator. In other words if anyone wants to know what is going on in Canada on the SDGs and who is working on it we have the information. Movement Map is here:
