Megacities & Climate Change

Sustainable Development Dialogues (SDD) are high-level cross-government initiatives established between United Kingdom Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) and governments of Brazil, China, India, Mexico and South Africa. The Dialogues aim to promote good governance in global sustainable development through mutual learning and joint projects on priority areas.

LEAD International is helping to strengthen the official SDD process by engaging its Network as a ‘sounding board’ that can provide a range of feedback on key issues and themes and reflect on the official bilateral process of the Dialogues. This year LEAD is delivering a number of activities, including online discussions with a wider LEAD network and Focus Group session during the International Session, to secure perspectives from LEAD Fellows from SDD countries and develop an engagement of the network around this important global initiative.
