Virtual conference: The Global Goals in the Heart of Recovery
The APPG for the UN Global Goals for Sustainable Development is partnering with the International Chamber of Commerce to deliver an exciting business-led conference on Wednesday 10 February 2021.
The unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic has devastated livelihoods, disrupted supply chains, deepened inequalities, and plunged global economy into a severe recession. While global leaders focus primarily on curbing the immediate health crisis, they also look at the Sustainable Development Goals as a comprehensive framework needed for rebuilding the global economy in a more efficient, sustainable, and just manner.
In the context of the UK presiding the G7 and hosting COP26, this conference webinar will be an opportunity for a high-level discussion of concrete initiatives to deliver on the SDGs and the importance of collective action if we are to secure a sustainable future for the planet.
The conference shall be chaired by the Rt Hon Theo Clarke MP and Lord McConnell of Glenscorrodale, Chair and Co-Chair of the APPG for the UN Global Goals for Sustainable Development respectively.
