ESCWA’s virtual workshop on empowering youth and enhancing their participation in public affairs in Sudan aims at enabling and enhancing the active and sustainable participation of youth in the process of developing, implementing and evaluating their own policies and plans that contribute to their aspirations.
 
The workshop contributed to meeting a number of objectives related to the toolkit including:

The Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia (ESCWA) is organizing in cooperation with the Central Statistical Organization (CSO) in Iraq a series of webinars on Population and Housing Censuses in Iraq.

The UN Environment Management Group (EMG), in close collaboration with UNEP, UNEP-FI, UNESCAP, UNECE, UNECA, ECLAC, ESCWA, and RCNYO, is organizing a 3-part series of virtual Nexus Dialogues on Addressing COVID-19 for the Environment.
 
The introductory dialogue Defining Green Recovery aims at pushing the needle forward to frame the rest of the series through stronger operationalization, to effectively monitor, evaluate and verify the impact of recovery and stimulus measures on environmental outcomes.
