At the core of SDG16+ is the understanding that in order to enable a better and more sustainable future for all, peace, justice and inclusion cannot be seen as goals in isolation from other key objectives and priorities. 2020 is a pivotal year for the SDG16+ community, particularly as it pertains to the critical role of — and linkages with — gender equality.This year the global community kicked off the Decade of Action to implement the 2030 Agenda, is taking stock of 25 years of progress on the blueprint for women’s rights via the 1995 Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action, and is celebrating 20 years of implementation of UN Security Council Resolution 1325 — which helped to define the women, peace and security agenda.
