30.05.2023 - SDSN Kazakhstan Conference, session "SDG Trade-offs and Synergies: current research from the SDGnexus Network"

The SDG^nexus Network hosts a session at the SDSN Kazakhstan Conference, which will be held at Nazarbayev University, Kazakhstan. The session is scheduled to take place from 11:00 to 12:10 (CET) on May 30, 2023.

This session aims to provide an overview of important research areas of the SDG^nexus Network and in this way illustrate specific examples of how the Nexus approach is implemented in practice. The speakers present assessments of SDG spillover effects, SDG reporting, and context-specific interlinkages between SDGs, using examples from SDG^nexus Network’s current research activities.
