UN Sustainable Development Goals, COVID-19, and the Decade of Action

NS UN.png

The United Nations vision to end poverty, rescue the planet, and build a peaceful world are solidly embedded in the 2015 UN Sustainable Development Goals. We are now 5 years down the road and that leaves the UN and their partners only a decade to deliver on their 2030 deadline.

It is no exaggeration to say that the Nordic countries are at the forefront of this effort and are pursuing their "Build Back Better and Greener" blueprint at breakneck speed. Even as the global pandemic entails challenges, the Nordics have shown that the crisis offers a unique opportunity to build back better and greener. Their shared vision recognizes the pivotal role of private industry and the potential of private-public partnerships in achieving common goals.

Please join us for what promises to be a great panel discussion on November 11 from 9 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. (EST) on how the Nordic response to the pandemic can push forward the Decade of Action.

Panelists include the five Nordic permanent representatives to the UN and five major Nordics corporations.

SUPPORTED BY THE PERMANENT MISSIONS TO THE UNITED NATIONS

The Nordic Series is a collaborative initiative featuring the five New York-based Nordic chambers of commerce of Norway, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, and Sweden.
