The Global Sustainable Development Congress brings together global thought leaders and innovators to discuss urgent solutions to the sustainability emergency.
Challenging the usual thinking on what higher education, governments, businesses and society must do to help society meet the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the congress is a call to action for global universities and businesses to pivot their educational, research, innovation and outreach programmes towards tangible outcomes.
Delegates from around the world will immerse themselves in sessions aligned with the societal transformations needed to achieve the SDGs.
Be inspired by powerful case studies and actionable insights from thought-provoking panels and collaborative workshops. Forge alliances in bespoke networking events and discover what is needed to scale up solutions for real impact.
Join us and engage first-hand in urgent conversations as we work together towards a more sustainable future.
