Welcome to the ‘Copenhagen Group’!
The Global Alliance and the Danish Institute of Human Rights organized a global technical workshop in February 2020 in Copenhagen to share progress on monitoring SDG 16+ efforts nationally and examine linkages between SDG 16+ and human rights standards.
Throughout the workshop participants became aware of new initiatives and the potential to collaborate to improve national SDG 16+ monitoring efforts. Continuing an online dialogue that will bring together the SDG 16+ community was proposed, including human rights practitioners and other relevant actors from all sectors that can contribute with advancing progress on national and global monitoring of SDG 16+.
Ensuring continued momentum coming out of the Copenhagen workshop this space will focus on, but will not be limited to, peer to peer knowledge exchange through online interactive discussions. The “Copenhagen Group” will be driven by SDG 16+ stakeholders needs identified from the bottom up.
