Session 7: Plenary 7 & Parallel 7

In 2012, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon launched theSustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN)to mobilize global scientific and technological expertise to promote practical problem solving for sustainable development, including the design and implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Following their adoption, we are now committed to supporting the implementation of the SDGs at local, national, and global scales.
