What in your view defines effective partnership in the context of sustainable development and climate solutions?

Sustainable development and climate mitigation are not a cakewalk. It is a journey that needs to be covered together, ensuring no one is left behind! In these unprecedented times, when everyone is talking about scaling up climate solutions, multi-stakeholder collaboration is a pre-requisite if we want to achieve our national and international goals limiting global warming. In the current climate discourse and conformity to the global SDG 17 (Partnerships for the Goals), it is evident that both top-down and bottom-up approaches are necessary to accelerate climate action at all levels, viz., government, private and public sector, and civil society.
