Just Governance for Human Security 2018
Exploring our part in the Global Goals
___________________________________________________________________________
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), otherwise known as the Global Goals, are a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure that all people enjoy peace and prosperity.
What role do I play in meeting the Global Goals?
In 2018, the event will focus on the link between the Six Pillars of Human Security and the Global Goals in addressing the factors that contribute to human insecurity and foster conflict.
This event is for anyone seeking to make fresh steps toward hope and for all sectors of global society: diplomats, elected officials, educators, the media, civil and social actors and academics. Caux provides a safe space for dialogue, where voices are heard, ideas are respected and all members of society can connect. This is a unique opportunity to work together to advance human security and to get inspired to take action.
