Foresight for Climate Resilience
2026-03-02 12:00 - 13:00 (America/New_York)
Event Description:
Learn from a panel of experts about how futures and foresights approaches can be used to build climate resilience in Canadian cities.
Cities around the world are increasingly planning for and responding to climate risks, trying to use long-term perspective to weigh actions today against a range of possible future outcomes that may take decades to materialize. Yet day-to-day demands and short planning cycles often make it difficult to look too far ahead.
While many solutions already exist, scaling them requires rethinking our approaches to governance, decision-making, and our societal values. That work begins with envisioning alternative futures and using foresight to try to imagine and anticipate what the future brings.
Join us on March 2nd from 12pm – 1pm EST at the Grebel Gallery for an engaging dialogue exploring practical tools and approaches to help cities envision and plan for more resilient futures. The event will explore what future climate risks cities face, what creative and design-based approaches exist for exploring future planning, and how cities can spark and support real change in their communities.

Third Edition of the International Virtual Workshop on Environmental Pollution Data Management within the Framework of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (SDGs)
2026-03-02 14:00 - 16:00, 2026-03-03 14:00 - 16:00 (America/Costa_Rica) | Virtual, GA
Event Description:
This event is a collaborative initiative involving academics and researchers from the Faculty of Agronomy and Veterinary Sciences of the Autonomous University of San Luis Potosí (Mexico), the Faculty of Agricultural Sciences of the National University of Cuyo (Argentina), and EARTH University (Costa Rica).
Within the framework of reflection on the United Nations 2030 Agenda and the formulation of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), encompassing 169 targets across the economic, social, and environmental dimensions, it is considered essential to assess their performance and impact from a global to a local scale. In particular, seven SDGs are of special interest, as several of their targets and scopes require robust data management in order to diagnose conditions, develop models, and generate projections that support decision-making across different sectors of society. These goals include: SDG 6: Clean Water and Sanitation; SDG 7: Affordable and Clean Energy; SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities; SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production; SDG 13: Climate Action; SDG 14: Life Below Water; and SDG 15: Life on Land.
The main objective of the workshop is to train students in the analysis and interpretation of environmental pollution data, enabling them to identify the applicable regulatory frameworks related to water, soil, and air, as well as to recognize prevention and mitigation strategies for environmental impacts aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals.
Throughout the workshop, reflections are conducted in relation to the 2030 Agenda. Participants are guided on the importance of environmental, social, and economic sustainability indicators, as well as technological indicators that have evolved over time and their relationship with indicators of water, soil, and air pollution. Special emphasis is placed on the relevance of national environmental information systems and on how issues related to water, soil, and air pollution are addressed from a technical and scientific perspective, considering information categories such as indices, variables, indicators-parameters, and the study of physicochemical and biological properties, among others.
Similarly, several key questions are addressed, such as: What considerations should be taken into account when studying contaminants in water, soil, and air? What can be investigated, and for what purpose should contaminants be studied? Examples of models documented in scientific studies are presented, illustrating the variables and indicators used to assess environmental impacts and pollution arising from anthropogenic and natural activities, as well as the importance of establishing direct and indirect relationships when addressing pollution issues. Finally, a practical component is carried out involving the analysis of specific environmental quality datasets for water, soil, and air, their interpretation within national and international regulatory frameworks, and the use of specialized software for contaminant modeling.

From Commitment to Action: Hands-On Pathways to Advancing the SDGs through short-term volunteering with Global Volunteers
2026-03-03 12:30 - 13:30 (America/Costa_Rica) | Virtual, GA
Event Description:
This session will introduce Global Volunteers’ Reaching Children’s Potential Program (RCP) as a practical, scalable framework for advancing the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through direct, hands-on engagement on short term volunteer programs.
While many institutions express commitment to the SDGs, translating that commitment into measurable action can be challenging. Global Volunteers provides structured opportunities for individuals, colleges and universities, and corporations to partner directly and participate in short terms volunteer programs with local communities in long-term, community-driven development initiatives aligned with the SDGs.
Participants will learn how experiential service programs can:
• Align academic coursework with global development outcomes
• Strengthen alumni and corporate engagement strategies
• Create meaningful cross-sector partnerships
• Deliver measurable contributions toward specific SDG targets
The session will highlight real-world examples of university and corporate engagement and offer a replicable model for institutions seeking to move from awareness to implementation in advancing the SDGs.

Innovating for Equity: Medical Technologies, Health Services & Education for Sustainable Development
2026-03-04 08:00 - 10:00 (Asia/Tehran) | Virtual, GA
Event Description:

Global health inequalities remain a major challenge to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, particularly SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-Being) and SDG 10 (Reduced Inequalities). This webinar will explore how advanced technologies in medicine – including artificial intelligence, digital health, biomedical engineering, and point-of-care diagnostics – can help bridge gaps in access to quality healthcare between high-resource and low-resource settings.
We will present current innovations and research initiatives that enable earlier diagnosis, more efficient treatment, and expanded healthcare access for underserved populations. The session will discuss practical applications of emerging technologies in reducing disparities related to geography, infrastructure, workforce shortages, and economic limitations. Some case studies and real-world examples will illustrate how universities and research institutions can contribute to equitable healthcare systems worldwide.

Youth Leadership for the SDGs in South Asia: Challenges & Opportunities
2026-03-05 11:00 - 12:00 (Europe/London) | Virtual, GA
Event Description:
South Asia is home to one of the largest youth populations in the world, with an estimated 700 million people under the age of 24. These young populations are concentrated in the region’s most populous countries, including India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and Afghanistan. While this demographic presents significant potential for sustainable economic growth, social development, and environmental progress, the region continues to face substantial challenges. These include issues related to quality education, employment opportunities, skills development, gender equality, and access to adequate healthcare services.
Given these complexities, fostering meaningful discussions and debates is essential. Such dialogue helps identify the key barriers faced by young people and enables the development of strategies to overcome these challenges. This is crucial for guiding the region toward achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
