RealKM submission to the 2027 Global Sustainable Development Report (GSDR)

Issued every four years, the Global Sustainable Development Report (GSDR) aims to strengthen the science-policy interface at the UN High-level Political Forum on Sustainable Development (HLPF) convening under the auspices of the UN General Assembly (UNGA), also known as the SDG Summit.

The 2027 GSDR will inform the follow-up and review of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), providing scientific guidance on the state of sustainable development globally, addressing emerging challenges, and offering actionable recommendations for governments and other stakeholders to better understand and navigate the complex relationships among social, environmental and economic development objectives in the last three years of SDG implementation and beyond.

RealKM has responded to the Call for Stakeholder Inputs to inform the 2027 GSDR with the following submission, which reinforces key messages from the 2024 RealKM-KM4Dev-K4DP knowledge management (KM) and SDGs campaign:
