Launch of Local Futures: Communities Collaborating for the Sustainable Development Goals (in person and virtual)
March 5 @ 11:00 am - 12:00 pm EST
Canadian communities face a number of urgent economic, social, and environmental challenges that will reverberate for decades to come. Health pandemics and inadequate local health systems, climate-induced disaster, and new economic models based on artificial intelligence are but a few of the major transformations our communities face today.
Join us as we launch the Local Futures project, exploring how universities, municipalities, and community organizations can work collectively to leverage the Sustainable Development Goals and drive impact towards creating a more prosperous and sustainable future.
