Webinar & Masterclass: Business & Purpose

Since the launch of the Sustainable Development Goals, many businesses have taken them to heart, moved away from traditional Corporate Social Responsibility, and moved toward a deeper purpose. As we enter into the Decade of Action, facing a global pandemic and increased social unrest, governments and nonprofits cannot reach these goals alone. It has never been more important for businesses to join the effort.

Hosted by Can & Will, the creative studio at the heart of social impact, this event is for small to medium sized business owners who want to use the power of their business platforms to create sustainable change within their own communities. Business owners will gain industry insights and tools for defining an authentic purpose by integrating the Sustainable Development Goals into their business practices and marketing strategies.

Science for a Sustainable Future

The world is facing a multitude of crises and as COVID-19 has spread, it has underscored how interconnected our world is and the importance of science in ensuring a sustainable future. Tackling each of these crises requires scientific knowledge and expertise for diagnosing challenges and developing solutions. Stronger international cooperation and greater collaboration between policymakers and scientists are needed to mobilize science to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in every country. 

On October 8 2020, Springer Nature and the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN) with its Thematic Research Network on Data and Statistics (TReNDS) will host a three hour virtual conference on science for a sustainable future. This global virtual conference will bring together policymakers, government representatives, UN officials, as well as leading scientists from around the world to discuss the role of science in achieving the SDGs.

The activity will be developed through a dialogue between organizations from different Latin American countries that will show us through videos, photographs, and slides how communities express their cultural roots and how they contribute to the care of the environment specifically through developing the Sustainable Development Goals 13, 14 and 15 of Agenda 2030.

Ciclo de Webinars sobre los ODS: Juventud Rural activando sus economías

Within the framework of Agenda 2030, we believe that to achieve SDG 8, all young people must have access to formal and decent work. Rural youth have a fundamental role in the development of the country, since they are the main engine of economic growth as well as the guardians of food security. In spite of the limitations present in rural areas, many young people have been knocking them down through effort and dedication. They not only seek their personal well-being, but also benefit and empower their communities. We invite you to know the stories that encourage us to continue fighting and working for a more just Peru.
