The United Nations (UN) has embarked on an ambitious initiative to address the challenges encountered by the private sector in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
A forum held at the Marriott Hotel on Wednesday sought to engage with private sector leaders in an effort to foster collaboration and knowledge exchange between the UN and private sector with an aim to provide practical, grounded insights for business leaders to effectively integrate the SDGs into their operations.
The Sustainable Development Goals, adopted by all UN Member States in 2015, encompass an agenda to address global challenges, including poverty, inequality, environmental sustainability, and peace. As the 2030 target date looms, it has become increasingly clear that the private sector, with its vast resources and global reach, plays a pivotal role in making these goals a reality.
