Event Details:

A new plan for people and planet has just launched: the 17 Global Goals for Sustainable Development to end poverty, combat climate change, and fight injustice and inequality.

The Center of Global Health will kick-start its Sustainable Development Goals Series with an introductory public lecture on the United Nations’ 15-year framework which will transform the world. What are the Global Goals and what do they mean for Hong Kong? Are they relevant to us and why? The CEO of an international development NGO will address these pressing questions, supplemented with stories from the field where Plan International is transforming the lives of impoverished children across the world.

Don’t miss out on this opportunity to learn more about the global goals and join in the movement!
