The European Disability Forum (EDF) is delighted to announce its new webinar on Tuesday, 11 September on the Sustainable Development Goals.

Speaker and content:

Orsolya Bartha, Senior Advisor at International Disability Alliance, will be the speaker. Orsolya will provide an overview of the Sustainable Development Goals at the regional level. She will discuss which regional bodies are involved, what they do and when they meet.

The objective of this webinar is to stimulate the engagement of organisations of persons with disabilities and the disability movement in the five regions of the world supporting regional sustainable development, as identified by the United Nations (UN). These UN regions are the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE), United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (UNESCAP), Economic Commission for Latin America (ECLAC), United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (ECA) and United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia (UNESCWA).
