The Our Shared Future series considers the practical implications of delivering on the major global summits of 2015 and 2016, particularly the Sustainable Development Summit, the Paris Agreement on Climate Change, and the World Humanitarian Summit. Each briefing focuses on a cross-cutting theme – governance, finance and data – identifying areas of convergence, overlaps and tensions across the development, humanitarian and sustainability agendas. The briefings make recommendations on how to improve the effectiveness of implementation of these intertwined agendas, with a view to deliver a more coherent global cooperation framework.
