Event Information
About this Event
This event aims to bring together industry experts to discuss the ways the sporting world can play in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals and also highlight major issues surrounding these problems and from insights shared, curate definite action plans and strategy to galvanize local actions
The SDGs have become the guiding star for global development. All development plans and programmes are benchmarked against the goals to ascertain their relevance to achieving a world where poverty, well-being, quality education, gender equality, economic growth and sustainable communities will one day no longer be problems.
Sports, recognized as a crucial tool and driver towards such a world, must be integrated fully into local, national and global development programmes and policies as part of a more eclectic approach to achieving the desired development results by 2030.
