SDG Spotlight
Highlighting Sustainable Development Goal 17 | Revitalize the global partnership for sustainable development.
A few facts and figures:
“The SDGs can only be realized with strong global partnerships and cooperation.
A successful development agenda requires inclusive partnerships — at the global, regional, national and local levels — built upon principles and values, and upon a shared vision and shared goals placing people and the planet at the centre.
Many countries require Official Development Assistance to encourage growth and trade. Yet, aid levels are falling and donor countries have not lived up to their pledge to ramp up development finance.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the global economy is projected to contract sharply, by 3 per cent, in 2020, experiencing its worst recession since the Great Depression.
Strong international cooperation is needed now more than ever to ensure that countries have the means to recover from the pandemic, build back better and achieve the Sustainable Development Goals.”Source: United Nations Read more HERE .
HUGE THANKS!
A huge thanks to our sponsor The Impact Competition. They fund case competitions that provide a financial incentive for teams of students to brainstorm effective solutions for the most pressing issues affecting the communities they live in. Â
Traditional case competitions offer a theoretical proposal that students are tasked with solving. However, the Impact Competition aims to solve local, real-world issues, and provides the funding for the students to see their solution in action. Like when Indiana University’s Kelley School of Business partnered with local Non Profit Habitat for Humanity of Monroe County, The students came up with an innovative housing solution to help Habitat’s mission.
In this episode, you will find out how this exact case worked, as well as how The Impact Competition got started in the first place.Â
You will hear 3 voices that all played their part in filling that first idea of the Impact Competition with life, action and impact.Â
