If there’s one thing the COVID-19 crisis has taught us, it’s that local problems need to be fought with global coordination. The 2030 Agenda is a blueprint for moving towards new and improved forms of international governance, focusing on the human aspects of growth, justice and well-being. We’re now at a crossroads of the next stage of human development – one that can only be by and for the many, not the few. Living together, deciding together.

Developing peaceful, inclusive societies is the key to successful sustainable development, but it hinges on major global partnerships: the private, public and social sectors need to join forces and make use of all the resources at their disposal.

Strategic alliances among all sectors and stakeholders are key to ensure that we collectively remain on track towards the objectives outlined in the Agenda 2030. Yet forging new multi-stakeholder partnerships and also novel partnership platforms requires new capacities to build back together after covid-19. How can these partnerships be articulated to be at the service of society?

These days, sustainable practices aren’t just the icing on the cake: they’re a recipe for growth and profit, letting companies mitigate risks, lower costs, and shape future markets matching consumers’ beliefs. So, how can business leaders hit the right balance between what they need in the short-term and what’s best in the long-term? Is there a winning formula for combining profitability with sustainability?

Pollution is a major problem for our health. There have been efforts made to tackle it on various fronts: new forms of urban transport, clean energy, responsible consumption… but is it enough? What’s left to be done? What opportunities can be grabbed to make sure everyone has a clean environment?
