The SDG Lab’s “So What” series usually focuses on the linkages between two goals of the 2030 Agenda and aims at showing the indivisibility of the 17 Global Goals in practice. Our latest iteration – number 5, which took place at the Palais des Nations on April 1, 2019 – deviated slightly from this format to explore the interlinkages between two global agendas: Sustainable Development and Sustaining Peace.

The Lab invited five practitioners from the worlds of peacebuilding, gender, labour, conservation and diplomacy to discuss the connections and correlations between both agendas and find ways to increase the exchange of ideas and collaboration.
