Our world is facing huge challenges to which we need to respond: climate change, poverty, ecosystem degradation, and inequality. Together, they demand major changes in behaviour and decision-making.
World leaders have agreed upon two global agendas – the 2030 Agenda and the Paris Agreement – which have the potential to tackle these challenges and transform our future. They set the framework for what needs to be done, but how can the agendas be turned into action? How do we make sure they are implemented in a coherent way? With the recent election to the European Parliament in mind, what can be done at the EU level?
Join us for a conversation about opportunities and challenges in turning the global sustainability agendas into action!
