1st International Academic Conference on Why it Matters as part of the Decade of Action for the Sustainable Development Goals

This academic conference will take place as the Decade of Action begins the countdown towards 2030, and the global community, including academic institutions, civil society organizations, private sector entities, local and national governments, as well as media outlets, explore ways through which the implementation of the 2030 Agenda and the 17 Goals become an intrinsic part of their efforts. In this context, academic institutions have a crucial role to play as the next ten years will determine the success of the initiatives that aim at ending poverty, protect the planet, and ensure human rights and prosperous and fulfilling lives for all by 2030.
