In today’s complex global landscape, civil society collaboration holds immense potential for addressing pressing issues and achieving the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In order to help facilitate this collaboration and to share strategies and best practices for how to advance the SDGs, the Journalists and Writers Foundation (JWF) will host an SDG Roundtable Discussion event, part of SDGs Conference 2024 in the margins of the 79th United Nations General Assembly, beginning at 10 a.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 24, 2024.

This wide-ranging, three-hour discussion be hosted at the Guild Hall at, 630 Second Avenue, New York, and will be split into two discrete panel sessions featuring international delegations of civil society members, journalists, academics, experts, and human rights advocates:

Interfaith Contributions to SDGs Achievements (10 a.m. to 11:15 a.m.)

  • This roundtable discussion brings together interfaith leaders, experts and practitioners to explore the pivotal role of interfaith collaboration in achieving the SDGs. Participants will share their experiences, identify common challenges, and strategize on overcoming obstacles to achieve a more cohesive and equitable world for all.

Civil Society Best Practices and Initiatives for the SDGs (11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.)

  • This roundtable discussion brings together diverse perspectives from various civil society organizations to share best practices, showcase initiatives, and strategize on enhancing their contributions to sustainable peace and development. By emphasizing the shared values that underpin diverse backgrounds, we can build connections and join in contributing to achieving the SDGs in a significant way.

Embrace Relief will be represented by Women’s Empowerment Program Coordinator Sarah Elsakhawy, who will present during the second session (beginning at 11:30 a.m. ) on the topic of “Building Inclusive and Peaceful Societies through the Empowerment of Women and the Support of Youth-led Initiatives.”

SDG Roundtable 2024 is an initiative of the Journalists and Writers Foundation, an international civil society organization dedicated to the culture of peace, human rights and sustainable development. JWF promotes diversity and inclusion by creating forums for intellectual and social engagement, generates and shares knowledge with stakeholders, builds partnerships worldwide and develops policy recommendations for positive social change.
