Expo 2020 Dubai along with the United Nations Global Compact will host a Sustainable Development Goals Business Forum during Global Goals week from 16 to 22 January 2022, in an effort to unite businesses to create a sustainable and inclusive future.
The collaboration will focus on the importance of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the aim to achieve them by 2030.
To ensure it is held in a sustainable way, Expo 2020 has aligned its sustainability strategy with the SDGs, is working with international participants, commercial partners, stakeholders, and its entire supply chain to incorporate sustainability at the physical site, into the pavilion designs and at events.
Over 200 international participants at Expo 2020 will be encouraged to participate in the UN Global Compact membership and drive progress towards sustainable and inclusive economic growth.
The UN’s pavilion is under the theme, ‘We The People: Shaping our Future Together’ to encourage action in line with the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
Dan Thomas, Chief of Communications and Strategic Events, UN Global Compact said, “We are pleased to partner with Expo 2020 to engage more companies in driving the SDGs. We will use this opportunity to encourage more business leaders to set ambitious, measurable targets for sustainability. Tangible progress is essential for a just, inclusive and sustainable recovery from COVID-19 and to avert the climate and inequality crises that can hold human progress back if left unaddressed.”
