70개국 정책결정자, 유엔 지속가능발전목표 달성 위해 인천서 머리 맞댄다
Policymakers from some 70 countries have gathered in South Korea.
A special meeting is held to discuss how they can cooperate to create peace and prosperity for people in all corners of the world.
Kan Hyeong-woo takes us there.
The United Nations Office for Sustainable Development has kicked off a five-day Executive Training Course for Policymakers on the 2030 Agenda in the western port city of Incheon.
Some of the 2030 Agenda's sustainable development goals include providing quality education for all, promoting decent employment and economic growth, reducing inequalities, tackling climate change, bringing peace and developing global partnership.
"Another thing is the lesson learned from all over the world. Yes, we are different in terms of the name of the country. But at the end of the day it's one planet, so our issues are really close to one another."
The course will have presentations from a number of experts and participants, group discussions and plenary seminar sessions with some 70 countries taking part.
"Obstacles and challenges are part of the game, right? And as long as you understand what are the challenges and what are the problem area, this is where you can make a difference."
The meeting also offers a networking opportunity for policymakers in central and local government and policy shapers in the private sector.
"Over the five-day course, the participants will learn effective practices and strategies to help them implement the Agenda 2030 and Sustainable Development Goals in their home countries. Kan Hyeog-woo, Arirang News."
