Learn MoreIn September 2015, all 193 Member States of the United Nations adopted a plan for achieving a better future for all — laying out a path over the next 15 years to end extreme poverty, fight inequality and injustice, and protect our planet. At the heart of “Agenda 2030” are the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) which clearly define the world we want — applying to all nations and leaving no one behind.
The UN Global Compact Network Canada is poised to spearhead the movement in Canada by educating, opening dialogue, and convening stakeholders to form innovative partnerships. Since its inception in 2015, the Local Network Canada has played an important role in bringing the business case of the Global Goals to Canadian businesses, and advocating their adoption and implementation.
