In 2015, the people of all nations decided to make the world a better place.

A good life for all, on a healthy planet.
But we are not getting there. Not reaching a single goal.

We need to rethink.

How do we mobilize companies to invest in sustainability?
How do we renew global finance?
How do we build sustainable cities?
How do we create green mobility?
How do we renew trust in international governance?

We need to rethink.
Reorganize.
And act.

 

Join us at the Hamburg Sustainability Conference in June 20–21, 2024.

Halfway from the adoption of the SDGs in 2015 on the path to 2030, the Hamburg Sustainability Conference is establishing a new, public-private global platform to speed up the implementation of the SDGs and deliver results-oriented solutions.
