The U.N. Global Goals Jam Hong Kong 2018 - Community Meetup
In the build-up to the U.N. Global Goals Jam Hong Kong 2018 (GGJHK2018), which will take place on September 22-23, 2018, we are putting together an inspiring series of talks on 5 selected U.N. Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs).
After our focus on gender equality in July, we now turn our attentions to energy and development. Our second event, on Thursday August 16, will shine the spotlight on UNSDGs #7 and #11: Affordable and Clean Energy, and Sustainable Cities and Communities. As an ever-increasing portion of the world’s population moves to urban areas and cities, the strain on resources and the environment also grows substantially. How can we ensure that this development can occur in a sustainable manner?
Joining us will be luminaries and leaders working within energy sustainability and urban development to share their experiences and the key issues on their minds, to inspire us to #Design2030.
