The Pledge of Commitment to the 2030 Agenda aimed to ensure that members of the Stakeholders’ Chamber are committed in working together to support actions and programs on the SDGs, and in actively engaging in the development of projects, increasing public awareness, and recommending policies to strengthen SDG implementation.
