This international meeting will commemorate 50 years since the convening of the UN Conference on the Human Environment. It is also designed to help accelerate the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SGDs) during the Decade of Action including through a sustainable recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. The Government of Sweden will host the meeting with the support of the Government of Kenya.

The objective of the national consultations is to stimulate an inclusive whole-of-society and whole-of-government dialogue on the main themes of Stockhom+50 as they relate to each national context. These themes are:

1. Leadership dialogue 1: Reflecting on the urgent need for actions to achieve a healthy planet and prosperity of all;
2. Leadership dialogue 2: Achieving a sustainable and inclusive recovery from the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic; and
3. Leadership dialogue 3: Accelerating the implementation of the environmental dimension of sustainable development in the context of the decade of action and delivery for sustainable development.

Your ideas, actions and innovations related to these themes are important to the pathway to a sustainable future that will be the focus of Stockholm+50. You are encouraged to download the Summary Information Sheet, as well as the Guiding Questions that will be used in the breakout sessions for the dialogues above.
