“It is increasingly recognised by the UN that the effective progress of the SDGs will depend on multilateral and domestic efforts to identify synergies between different goals and indicators to create a stronger foundation for the success of their implementation.”
Principales hallazgos
Work to identify and analyze the synergy between certain priority SDGs policy goals in the region or country. Map these SDG policy goals and their interconnectedness with the key principles of the EU and the Green Deal to foster positive bilateral and regional dialogue and investment in certain Sustainable Development policy areas.
When seeking economic partnerships for renewable energy projects with the EU and member states – demonstrate the clear lack of initial (fluid) capital and private investment in the region. Ensuring that there is a chronic need for investment that would not have been overcome with private investment is key to building relationships.
The EU will support conservation grant projects that will contribute to efforts that have already been explored by LAC countries, and that will have proven the impact on the achievement of the SDGs.
