International cooperation has been cited as a key means to overcome the interconnected global-scale crises of extreme poverty, economic instability, social inequality, and environmental degradation. The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Sendai Framework call for the enhanced provision of means of implementation, including through international cooperation and global partnerships in support of the developing countries. This is important given the linkage between the level of support provided to them and the extent to which they will be able to achieve the intended outcomes, particularly Target (f) of the Sendai Framework that seeks to substantially enhance international cooperation to developing countries.

The Working Session highlights the significance of coherent implementation, technology transfer and investments in achieving adequate international cooperation. In particular the session will discuss good practices and success stories in achieving international cooperation, identify barriers in executing North-South, South-South and triangular partnerships and explore solutions to sustain international cooperation.
