at the joint conference TUEWAS and SNRD Asia: Breaking down the SDGs –
Contributing to Implementing the Agenda 2030. The conference discusses how to create practical progress out of the historic adoption by heads of state and government around the world of the global Agenda as a plan of action “for people, planet and prosperity”. The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) will play a crucial role in German development cooperation over the coming years. On this occasion, over 250 national and international GIZ experts from all over Asia gather from 31 May – 2 June 2016 in Bangkok to discuss technical priority areas linking to the SDGs and what these goals mean for the GIZ projects in Asia that are part of the Sector Networks.
