Interview with Lisa Cameron, MP – The UK Parliament's engagement with the SDGs

Wed, 04/12/2019 - 12:52

Voices is part of an IPU web series in which we interview parliamentarians from around the world. The views and opinions they express are their own and do not necessarily reflect the IPU’s position.

UK MP Lisa Cameron discusses the engagement of the UK Parliament in the implementation of the 2030 Agenda and its 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) including the importance of a “whole-of-parliament” approach to the SDGs and making sure no one is left behind.

The interview took place at the 141st IPU Assembly in Belgrade in October 2019.
