In a global landscape of geopolitical upheaval and fragmentation of the international order following the Russian invasion to Ukraine, there is widespread concern that the sustainability agenda could be pushed into the background. Yet, it is obvious that humanity has no time to lose. The climate crisis, the post-pandemic energy and supply-chain crises, the loss of biodiversity, persistent drought in many regions, refugee flows, and increased inequality, inter alia, constitute a cluster of mutually reinforcing emergencies. This means that there is need for urgent co-ordinated action at a global scale. The issues reflected in the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals must become a field for understanding and co-operation between governments and nations, contributing not only to a more viable future for our planet but global peace as well.
It is against this setting that Economist Impact Events have great pleasure in announcing the organisation of The Seventh Sustainability Summit for SE Europe and the Mediterranean entitled “How can sustainability foster global co-operation and peace?”, which is going to take place on November 20th-21st 2023 in Athens.
