Creating Partnerships - Net Impact Meetup on Sustainable Solutions!

Details

Hello all,
Considering that none of us can create sustainable solutions alone, I've been exploring how we may develop partnerships for the goals (see Sustainable Development Goal # 17!) We always say that each of the SDG's requires collaboration and intersectional, interdisciplinary thinking between economic, environmental, and equity considerations.

So last week I attended a Net Impact Meetup and enjoyed meeting impressive young leaders who indeed are taking on sustainability challenges, to consider how business may be part of the solutions in 2020 and beyond.

As we begin to focus in on each of the SDG's throughout the year, it is clear that these are intertwined. For example:
Goal #1 is END POVERTY https://www.un.org/sustainabledevelopment/poverty/
and Goal #2 is ZERO HUNGER. https://www.un.org/sustainabledevelopment/hunger/

And we all know these 2 issues are related, so solutions we consider must be explored by joining others in their situations and learning about systemic barriers, as well as local or personal scenarios. Overall it is important to learn how to partner with business as it impacts the food supply chain...and so much else!

So for this meetup let's expand partnerships, learn more about how strategies are considered, and join the conversation. I'll be there and will look for you!
