About This Series
There is still a lot of reimagining to do when it comes to the SDGs now that we enter an era of action towards resiliency. Have we ‘left nobody behind?’ Where are we in our decade of action? Are we on track - how did the pandemic derail our progress? What shifts are taking place in our sectors? What do we need to pay attention to? And, what does this all mean for improving the lives of Canadians - and around the world? In partnership with Alliance2030 and Together|Ensemble, this series dives into what we need to do, to be where we need to be, when it comes to Agenda2030.
