Strengthening the Geneva 2030 Ecosystem

The document assesses the potential for a cross-sector collaboration space in Geneva to support the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It identifies Geneva's strengths, such as the high density of international organizations and NGOs, but notes barriers including bureaucratic processes and a lack of accessible collaborative spaces in the Nations area.

• Geneva possesses a unique environment for SDG collaboration characterized by the expertise of international and non-governmental organizations, a focus on global issues, neutrality, and an operational focus of international organizations.
• Effective collaboration in Geneva is hindered by bureaucratic processes, duplication of efforts, and varying levels of institutional culture and resources dedicated to innovation.
• The absence of publicly accessible collaborative spaces within the Nations area is identified as a significant barrier to maximizing the collaborative potential of Geneva's diverse actor ecosystem.
