Symposium: Past Lessons, Future Ideas: Multilevel Views on Applying the UN Sustainable Development Goals (session 1979)
Online Zoom Virtual-Only Webinar, 12:30 pm – 2 PM Seattle Time (7:30 pm -9 pm GMT), Tuesday, August 9, 2022
We want to invite all AOM attendees to join us in our symposium to explore avenues for academics to contribute to UN sustainable development goals (SDGs). In 2015 the UN adopted a resolution called "Transforming Our World: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development" comprising 17 sustainable development goals (SDGs) ranging from "no poverty" to "responsible consumption and production."
Because of the nature of the UN SDGS, the symposium has been classified as particularly relevant to attendees interested in the 2022 Theme "Creating a Better World Together," practice, diversity and international issues. The objective of this interactive symposium is to provide attendees with input that can help them in their future research, teaching, networking and engaged action. We welcome everyone!
To encourage attendees to come up with their own approaches, this panel of global experts will show the range of entrepreneurial and intrapreneurial activities being done across meta, macro, meso, and micro levels to meet the SDGs. Examples will talk about meta level actors such as the UN, ILO and ISO, macro level activities in MNCs and NGO's, meso and micro activities among indigenous peoples using historic models of sustainable life and among social and solidarity economy organizations leveraging ICT to create new partnerships around the world. The session will leave time for attendees to ask questions to these experts.
The panelists include diverse experts on applying SDGs across a broad range of entrepreneurial and intrapreneurial settings. They include Raphael H Cohen (U. Geneva), Lichia Saner-Yu (CSEND), Leo Paul Dana (Dalhousie U.), Raymond Saner (CSEND), and Jerome Katz (Saint Louis U.). Please join us!
