The SDG’s: Their place in history and their future in the age of Covid
October 19 2021 | The Sustainable Development Goals: Are the SDGs an unprecedented, even over ambitious attempt to solve the world’s problems? Or are they part of a long tradition of humanity’s search for a better world? In a special edition of the podcast Inside Geneva, a panel led by Geneva correspondent, Imogen Foulkes, will discuss what we can learn from past efforts at solving global challenges, and ask where the SDGs stand now that a global pandemic has been added to the mix.
