UN SDGs

UN SDGs

UN SDGs

The United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were launched in 2015 to replace the millennium development goals and cover a wide range of global challenges across human society, the natural environment and governance. All 193 UN members agreed the SDGs and, after something of a slow start, they are fast becoming the common language of communicating and reporting around sustainability topics, with a report in 2017 finding that 50% of European listed companies surveyed were already using the SDGs in their corporate reporting. A report in the same year by the Business & Sustainable Development Commission estimated that sustainable business models “could open economic opportunities worth up to US$12 trillion and increase employment by up to 380 million jobs by 2030”.

Although they can look daunting, the SDGs aren’t just for governments and multinational businesses. They act as a powerful summary of the forces acting on businesses and can be used as a lens through which to view risk and opportunity. Green Knight can help you make them relevant to what your business does, which can focus your strategy and help you align with what matters most to your customers and other stakeholders.

    Date/Time: August 8, 2022 (1-2PM ET / 10-11AM PT) Climate change is simultaneously an existential threat and an unprecedented opportunity to create a more ecologically regenerative, socially just world. Can technology solve some of humanity’s greatest challenges by averting the former and unlocking the latter? What else, beyond technology, is most needed now? Climate tech solutions enabling the transformation of energy, transportation, food and carbon removal markets are already demonstrating enormous potential to confront the climate crisis and improve peoples’ lives. But between the real-world impacts of climate change making these solutions more urgent and the headwinds of political pushback and an economic downturn, how are these technologies likely to fare in fulfilling that promise? Join the GreenBiz analysts covering four of the most dynamic climate tech markets to share what they’re tracking and projecting. Among the things we’ll explore:
