Can we achieve the Sustainable Development Goals in a post-COVID world?
A Water Institute Conference Covering Five Continents Over Three Days
“We need to turn the recovery into a real opportunity to do things right in the future.” – António Guterres, UN Secretary-General
Does the coronavirus pandemic doom the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)? Or does it present an opportunity to make significant progress against the SDGs? How can water research contribute?
Join the Water Institute from 8:00 to 9:30 am EDT on September 29, September 30 and October 1 for three days of interdisciplinary dialogue from leading water researchers around the globe who will be discussing their work in the context of the coronavirus pandemic and the SDGs.
