Incorporating the UN Sustainable Development Goals in Business Practice
Event Information
About this Event
The 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) form the core of The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development adopted by all 193 UN Member States in 2015. Local actors are encouraged to formulate appropriate local SDG targets while also cooperating, coordinating and contributing to the international SDG agenda. While not direct signatories to the 2030 Agenda, private businesses have worked enthusiastically to promote the SDGs. Private sector involvement is essential to achieving the SDGs. The speaker, Dr Ameeta Jain, is working on mapping the SDGs in the City of Whitehorse. This talk will provide an understanding of the SDGs and how businesses can incorporate them in their practice.
Facilitator: Dr Ameeta Jain, Senior Lecturer, Deakin University
