6th SSWA SDGs: Way Forward
- South-West and South Asia must join hands for regional cooperation and development to combat the challenges they are facing in achieving the SDGs, including inclusivity of marginalised and vulnerable communities, tackling poverty, climate change, hunger, and disease.
- Regional cooperation and collective decision-making in terms of climate action, cross- border connectivity, trade cost reduction, and bridging the financing gap, is a cornerstone for South & South-West Asian Countries to help mitigate the adverse impacts of climate change.
- Furthermore, there is a need to build technical capacities in the areas of crop management, water conservation, infrastructure building, and energy transitions for sustainable development in the SSWA region in the future.
- Collective decision-making regarding regional cooperation at local, provincial, and federal levels in the implementation of SDGs would promote policies and dialogue at the national and sub-regional level.
