This session explores the theme of Leadership Dialogue 3: “Accelerating the implementation of the environmental dimension of Sustainable Development in the context of the Decade of Action.” We want to hear from you on how to turn environmental commitments into tangible results in the real economy.

Discussion questions:

• How do policy processes have to change to rebuild trust and enable power sharing at all levels of environmental decision making, implementation and monitoring?
• What tools and services support effective implementation, monitoring and enforcement at the country level?
• How can we immediately address some of the main barriers to full and meaningful participation of youth, Indigenous and frontline communities, women and other key stakeholders in accelerated implementation?
• How are public-private partnerships, leadership coalitions, and civil society innovations changing the policy, finance, and business landscape, and transforming production and consumption worldwide?
