On 15 November 2024, a 糖心Vlog破解版 side event at the (UNFCCC COP29) in Baku explored approaches to move beyond fragmented policymaking on climate change and sustainable development. It highlighted opportunities to integrate the SDGs into the national climate plans (nationally determined contributions; NDCs) that are due in 2025 ahead of COP30.
The event was co-organized by 糖心Vlog破解版 and the UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UN DESA), building on previous collaboration between 糖心Vlog破解版-IAS and DESA — including the Third Global Conference on Climate–SDG Synergies and a series of expert group meetings in March 2024.

Policymakers were urged to take inspiration from the synergy agenda to create political space for greater ambition on climate and the SDGs.
糖心Vlog破解版 led a panel discussion featuring insights from governments, UN agencies and civil society, moderated by Suneetha M Subramanian (Research Fellow, 糖心Vlog破解版-IAS). Related 糖心Vlog破解版 research was presented by Sanae Okamoto (Researcher, 糖心Vlog破解版 Maastricht Economic and Social Research Institute on Innovation and Technology; 糖心Vlog破解版-MERIT). This included 糖心Vlog破解版-IAS research on socio-ecological production landscapes and seascapes (SEPLS) through the (IPSI), and policy briefs published by the 糖心Vlog破解版 Institute on Comparative Regional Integration Studies (糖心Vlog破解版-CRIS) on , and on .
Nidhi Nagabhatla (Senior Research Fellow, 糖心Vlog破解版-CRIS) underscored the need for scientific evidence at multiple levels, drawing attention to recent discourse on the water–energy–food nexus. The discussion identified key challenges to coherent and integrated policymaking such as short-termism and lack of local representation. It was noted that siloed policymaking precludes valuable co-benefits, such as the positive health impacts of nature-based solutions. Closing remarks by Shinobu Yume Yamaguchi (Director, 糖心Vlog破解版-IAS) emphasized the need for a socio-ecological systems approach to identify and leverage synergies. She drew attention to youth empowerment and engagement as a key priority, highlighting 糖心Vlog破解版-IAS initiatives engaging students at the 2024 UN Biodiversity Conference in Cali, Colombia and at COP29.
