Webinar: Setting Goals - Science-based targets with BT, Carbon Trust and UN Global Compact UK

UN Global Compact Network UK

In September 2015, the UK joined the other 192 Member States of the United Nations in adopting a plan to achieve a better future for all - laying out a path over the next 15 years to end extreme poverty, fight inequality and injustice, and protect our planet. At the heart of the UN’s Agenda 2030 are the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)<A HREF="https://thesustainabilityhub2.sharepoint.com/Shared%20Documents/SDG%20Roadshows/2018/Concept%20note/SDG%20Roadshow%202018%20Concept%20Note.docx#_ftn1" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">[1]</A> which clearly define the world we want - applying to all nations and leaving no one behind.
Realising the Goals will require all players to champion this agenda – governments, civil society, academia, and particularly the business community. Supporting the Goals presents a vital opportunity for business to regain the trust of its stakeholders and society in general, but the Goals also represent a compelling growth strategy for business. A report from the Business & Sustainable Development Commission, Better Business, Better World<A HREF="https://thesustainabilityhub2.sharepoint.com/Shared%20Documents/SDG%20Roadshows/2018/Concept%20note/SDG%20Roadshow%202018%20Concept%20Note.docx#_ftn2" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">[2]</A>, shows how pursuing the Global Goals could raise trillions in new market opportunities.
The next webinar in the series, Setting Goals - Science-based targets will feature a conversation with Steve Kenzie, Executive Director, UN Global Compact UK, Gabrielle Giner, Head of Environmental Sustainability, BT and Andie Stephens, Associate Director, Carbon Trust.
