In September 2015 Heads of State and Government agreed to set the world on a path towards sustainable development through the adoption of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development[1.1]. This agenda includes 17 Sustainable Development Goals, or SDGs, which set out quantitative objectives across the social, economic, and environmental dimensions of sustainable development — all to be achieved by 2030. The goals provide a framework for shared action “for people, planet and prosperity,” to be implemented by “all countries and all stakeholders, acting in collaborative partnership.” As articulated in the 2030 Agenda, “never before have world leaders pledged common action and endeavour across such a broad and universal policy agenda.”[1.2] 169 targets accompany the 17 goals and set out quantitative and qualitative objectives for the next 15 years.

Our meeting will be an interrative session exposing us to the SDGs, why they are necessary and the role you can also play toward its achievement.

Be there!
