Beskrivning av samhällsfrågan

How India handles its rapid urbanisation and incorporates sustainability and resilience in every aspect of growth will critically impact whether the key outcomes expected from the SDGs by 2030 will be met by the world. What can sustainability do for us to create prosperity, equity and justice?

Utökad information om evenemanget

We discusses how to connect the urban needs, innovative spirit and entrepreneurial energy of India with the robust ideas of sustainability and resilience, technologies and business models of Sweden and the Nordic world. This moderated panel discussion will invert the question of the first seminar in the series, "What Can We Do For Sustainability", and ask one key question: Why should sustainability matter to us and what can it actually do for us to create long term prosperity and a more equitable and just society?
