Deliberation Workshop: Accelerating Social Impact Solutions Through Collective Action Between Industry And Start-Ups
India’s private sector, including start-ups, are well positioned to support the centre and
state governments in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). There have been
several strategic developments related to the UN system recently. The United Nations
Secretary General (UNSG) has entrusted the Local Networks with a greater responsibility to
increase SDGs impact and UN business partnerships at the country-level.
A key focus area that has been added to the UNGC mandate is inclusion and promotion of
innovators in respective countries. The Local Networks are being encouraged to play a
significant role in both guiding and supporting start-ups as responsible business locally in
collaboration with Government, the UN, and other stakeholders.

A Workshop on Framing the National Challenge Framework on Climate Smart Cities and Air Pollution Mitigation
Rapid urbanization is posing a challenge for sustainable development of our cities. Urban areas are responsible for considerable energy consumption and GHG emissions which attributes to climate change. It is observed that nearly 44% of India's rapidly growing carbon emissions have urban origins, emanating from transport, industry, buildings and waste. This imposes huge risks towards increased water stress, heat island effect, increased frequency and severity of extreme weather events such as urban floods. This unprecedent growth is leading to negative consequences for environment and wellbeing of its citizens. Rapidly growing carbon emissions are making our cities vulnerable and imposing huge risks for environment and human beings.
