Addressing challenges fast
We are running out of time to resolve existential threats such as poverty, hunger and climate change. We need courageous decisions and large-scale solutions. The Hamburg Sustainability Conference challenges barriers to SDG implementation, while steering momentum with a systemic approach to answer questions such as: How can value chains become climate-friendly and create more value for emerging societies and developing countries? How can the enormous potential of the private sector be unleashed to achieve the SDGs? And how can we help today's sustainability pioneers to set tomorrow's standards?
Confronting a world slowed down by conflict
“The SDGs are in great difficulty," says UN Secretary-General António Guterres and calls for a rescue plan to save humanity and our planet. Our world is in transition. In times of increasing geopolitical crises, challenges are continually growing. A new impetus is needed to improve the ability of the global community to collaborate and advance the implementation of the SDGs by 2030.
