CEBDS webinar series discusses the relationship between Covid-19 and sustainability

  • Posted in 22/04/2020

Webinars will discuss the post-pandemic world

O The Brazilian Business Council for Sustainable Development had been revisiting its long-term guidelines, launched in 2012 during Rio+20, in the publication Vision 2050, when the world was hit by the Covid-19 pandemic. This forced a reassessment of the priority topics that would be addressed, now from this new perspective. More than finding answers about what the post-pandemic world will be like, the webinar series proposes subsidies for the debate on possible, systemic and purposeful futures. The goal is to transform the current crisis into an opportunity to accelerate the implementation of an agenda for long-term sustainable development.

Check out the topics and webinars below:
