Vanesa Castán Broto, Professor of Climate Urbanism, is part of the Independent Group of Scientists selected by the United Nations. The 2027 GSDR will provide scientific guidance on the state of global sustainable development, addressing emerging challenges, and offering actionable recommendations for governments and other stakeholders.
The aim of the Open Call for Stakeholder Inputs is to:
- understand stakeholder expectations for the 2027 GSDR, including what characteristics would make the report most relevant and useful;
- gather examples of good practices and lessons learned in SDG implementation from practitioners working to strengthen science-policy-society interfaces at all levels, including what works at the local level and where the gaps are;
- identify additional peer-reviewed assessments to complement the IGS’ own research.
A pdf version of the open call is available here for reference. Responses must be submitted through the online form below to be considered. A summary of key messages as well as all relevant responses will be shared with the IGS to inform their work on the 2027 GSDR and made public.
Deadline: Tuesday, 31 March 2026, 6 p.m. EDT
