The British Virgin Islands (BVI) has reaffirmed support for Brazil’s initiative to seek international adoption of its voluntarily adopted Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 18 ‘Ethnic and Racial Equality,’ which comes as multilateral discussions are beginning on the post-2030 sustainable development framework and future of the SDGs.
The renewed pledge was made at a recent technical meeting on “SDG 18 and the Promotion of Ethnic and Racial Equality” organised by the Federative Republic of Brazil’s Ministry of Racial Equality.
BVI Special Envoy Mr. Benito Wheatley who participated virtually, was among several stakeholders that included governments, religious institutions, NGOs, and grassroots organisations who attended the technical meeting and form a part of the SDG 18 network.
