In 2015 world leaders agreed to an ambitious development agenda characterized by 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). To end poverty, fight inequality and combat climate change requires a new approach to development planning, innovation, scientific insights, and partnerships.
Different actors need to collaborate to achieve the new development agenda. Businesses undertake investments, the public sector sets incentives, and civil society instills values for sustainable development. By bringing these stakeholders together, Global Goals Consulting is leading thought-provoking discussions that produce innovative development thinking.
