The Association for Environmental Studies and Sciences (AESS) is offering a free webinar next Monday. Looks like a good way to spend your lunch hour.
UN Sustainable Development Goals Setting Agenda for Sustainability in the U.S. and Globally
September 8, 2014
12:00pm to 2:00pm EST
(presentation from 12:00-12:45 followed by a Q&A and discussion period)
About the Webinar
The webinar presentation and moderated discussion will introduce and discuss the Sustainable Development Goals which were released in the July 19th, 2014 consensus Outcome Document negotiated by the Open Working Group on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This Outcome Document will be considered by the UN General Assembly in the fall 2014, and has the potential to set national and international agendas for sustainability. The webinar and discussion will explore goals for agriculture, biodiversity, climate, energy, water, and sustainable consumption and production, and how these might be implemented in the US, North America and Europe. It will also focus on how the SDGs may affect the global development agenda, and drive public and private finance and partnerships in developed and developing countries.
