In the 9th #SSWASDGForum, Ms. Armida Salsiah Alisjahbana, Executive Secretary, @UNESCAP, Thailand highlighted:
1️⃣ Half of the world’s poor live in South Asia — inequality & gender gaps demand urgent, inclusive action. ⚖️👩🌾
2️⃣ Progress on SDGs 6, 7, 9, 11 & 17 calls for integrated planning linking energy, climate & development. 🔋🌱
3️⃣ Cross-border cooperation, data sharing & early-warning systems can save lives beyond borders. 🤝🌊
4️⃣ South–South partnerships must drive climate-smart growth & resilient infrastructure for a sustainable future. 🌾🏙️

In the 9th #SSWASDGForum, Ms Prathma Uprety @PrathmaU, Director, Information and Poverty Alleviation Division, SAARC @SaarcSec highlighted:
1️⃣ SAARC mechanisms — development funds, energy & disaster centers — offer ready platforms for cross-border collaboration & financing. 🤝💰
2️⃣ Energy cooperation can accelerate #SDG7 & #SDG13 — through renewable corridors, clean tech sharing & electricity trade. ⚡🌿
3️⃣ Disaster resilience & connectivity boost #SDG8, #SDG9 & #SDG11 — through early warnings, harmonized standards & resilient infrastructure. 🌊🏗️
4️⃣ By scaling up regional financing, women’s empowerment & data sharing, South Asia can move faster, together toward a sustainable future. 🌍✨

In the 9th #SSWASDGForum, Dr Dushni Weerakoon, Executive Director, Institute of Policy Studies, Sri Lanka articulated:
1️⃣ The SDGs promised financing for implementation — but a decade later, the gap between ambition & delivery has only widened. 💸⚠️
2️⃣ Countries like 🇱🇰 face compounded crises — economic, climate & social — making progress ever harder. 🌊📉
3️⃣ Partnerships for financing were laudable, yet fragmented multilateral systems hinder real action. 🌐🚧
4️⃣ The next 3–4 years demand a rethink of global financing architecture — without it, the 2030 agenda remains a distant dream. ⏳🤝
👉Do visit the Sustainability Investment Expo zone near Academic Block, @OfficialAIOU

In the 9th #SSWASDGForum, Mr Daya Sagar Shrestha, Executive Director, National Campaign for Sustainable Development, Nepal & Focal Point @SSWA_UNESCAP, Asia-Pacific Regional CSOs Engagement Mechanism highlighted:
1️⃣ Civil society drives localization, accountability & inclusion — amplifying voices of women, youth & marginalized groups. 🧑🌾📣
2️⃣ Yet progress lags: civic space is shrinking, funding is volatile & data gaps persist across South Asia. ⚖️🚫
3️⃣ CSOs remain vital watchdogs, partners & service providers — reaching places governments cannot. 🤝🏞️
4️⃣ To achieve the #SDGs by 2030, we must protect civic freedoms, fund sustainably & scale community-led action. 🔓🌱
🌍 #SDC2025 | #SIE2025

#SDC2025 | #SIE2025
Prof. Ahsan Iqbal (@betterpakistan) articulated:
1️⃣ South Asia — a quarter of humanity — stands at the frontline of climate and development challenges yet brims with potential for green leadership. 🌿🤝
2️⃣ Pakistan’s 🇵🇰 URAAN Framework envisions a $1T inclusive, tech-driven, and resilient economy by 2035 built on the 5Es — Exports, e-Pakistan, Environment, Energy, and Equity. 🚀📊
3️⃣ Global finance must be reimagined — no nation should have to choose between repaying debt and uplifting its people. 💸⚖️
4️⃣ Together, let’s turn vulnerability into resilience and lead South Asia’s renaissance toward a climate-smart future. 🌍✨
