The European conference on “SDGs, Climate and the Future of Europe” of May 31st 2018 in Milan, hosted by the Italian Alliance for Sustainable Development (see www.asvis.it), will take place at a critical moment when Europeans reflect on their future. It is the responsibility of each one of us, as suggested by President Macron’s call for Conventions on the future of Europe.
The conference will advance a new narrative for Europe based on the SDGs. The 2030 Agenda’s ‘Transforming Our World’ is an invitation to ‘Transform Our Europe’ and to make Europeans the champions of the ‘leap forward of humanity’ that is necessary to face the challenges of the 21st century. Achieving the 17 SDGs of the 2030 Agenda, including No Poverty, Zero Hunger in an inclusive economy and financial system would definitely be a leap forward for humankind. Europeans should catch the vast opportunities offered by the implementation of the SDGs and the climate agreements to improve the well-being in Europe and to exercise a global constructive role to reach the targets of the SDGs in time.
The Milan Conference will discuss these issues with the participation of European Institutions, businesses, civil society representatives and subject matter experts, including some members of the «Multistakeholder Platform» established by the European Commission. It will provide a unique opportunity to develop a strong contribution to the European Commission’s «reflection paper», which is under preparation.
On May 30th, two side events of the international Conference will take place:
- Inclusive and Sustainable Finance, organized by Epe – European Partners for the Environment
- Making the SDGs: Green Economy and Gender Equality (SDG5) as a Connecting Glue, organized by CEE Gender Network
CMCC Foundation will take part to the event with Prof. Carraro‘s talk during the High-Level Round Table “Climate change, circular economy, innovation and social pillar: key instruments for achieving sustainable development” (h. 15:35 – 16:45)
