The First 3Zero Forum will Take Place in the Philippines on October

Gawad Kalinga has partnered with ACTED and Convergences to bring the vision of a โ€œ3Zeroโ€ย  world to life.ย  Closely aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the Unitedย  Nations, the goals of Zero Carbon, Zero Exclusion and Zero Poverty lend simplicity and ease ofย  appreciation for all of the 17 SDGs. Achieving the Global Goals requires a concertedย  mobilization of all actors namely international and local development agencies, nationalย  governments and local authorities, academic partners, NGOs and foundations, the corporateย  sector, and citizens themselves. Therefore, a platform for dialogue and collaboration isย  necessary to bring all these players together.ย ย ย 

3Zero Forum

Aptly titled โ€œBuilding A Cross-sector Convergence towards 3Zero goalsโ€, the forum will be aย  venue to present the 3Zero Global Alliance and to solidify the collaboration between allย  stakeholders in the sustainable and inclusive development agenda. There will be 4 plenaryย  discussions and 10 breakout sessions, bringing together hundreds of participants from theย  government, private and socio-civic sector.ย  The forum will happen virtually over the course ofย  two whole days, with the aim of discussing the most current and pressing challenges on exclusion, climate change and poverty in the Philippines.ย  Registration is free to make sure thatย  all change makers can learn, network and collaborate.ย ย ย 

There will be four main plenary sessions that will present the points of view of key opinionย  leaders such as heads of government agencies, private corporations, and the academe.ย  Whileย  the breakout sessions are co-constructed with partner organizations to discuss the challengesย  and solutions to each zero in-depth.ย  The participants will be invited to join any of the 3Zeroย  breakout sessions to enable them to network and collaborate with other groups that share theย  same objective.ย ย ย 

The 3Zero Global Alliance will continue to push for innovative solutions after the forumย  through project funding support, skills training and knowledge exchange programs toย  empower the groups to achieve our vision of a โ€œZero Carbon, Zero Exclusion and Zero Povertyโ€ย  Philippines.ย ย
