Assessing the Progress of the Global Goals at the Midway point to 2023
Streaming Worldwide 5.31.2023
In 2015, the 194 member states of the United Nations unanimously agreed to collectively support the achievement of the 17 Social Development Goals by 2030. Now at the midpoint of that pledge, it is important to take stock of the progress made and assess the work that still needs to be done to accelerate the completion of the SDGs.
To this end, Ideagen is proud to host the 2023 Global Acceleration Summit, which will bring together a diverse group of organizations and individuals from across the world to share their initiatives and success stories in the pursuit of the SDGs. Through this event, we aim to highlight the challenges faced by different sectors and communities and discuss how we can work together to overcome them.
Our summit will provide a platform for experts to exchange ideas, best practices, and innovative solutions toward achieving the SDGs. We believe that by observing the headway and initiatives of our featured organizations and individuals, we can uncover a big-picture view of how we can collectively support and accelerate the achievement of the UN SDGs from a global perspective.
Moreover, this summit will facilitate cross-sector partnerships and collaborations to identify areas where collective action can have the greatest impact and promote a shared sense of responsibility for achieving the SDGs. Through a series of interactive discussions, we will explore how to leverage technology, finance, and policy to advance sustainable development and create a better future for all.
Join us as we come together to assess progress, share insights, and forge new partnerships to accelerate the achievement of the SDGs. Together, we can build a more equitable, sustainable, and resilient world for generations to come.
