Gawad Kalinga has partnered with ACTED and Convergences to bring the vision of a โ3Zeroโย 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
Aptly titled โBuilding 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 โZero Carbon, Zero Exclusion and Zero Povertyโย Philippines.ย ย
