Ny webbinarieserie som arrangeras av Lund Inistitute for Sustainability Impact vid Ekonomihögkolan, Sydsvenska Industri- och Handelskammaren, Lunds Kommun och Region Skåne.
Vi tror att det bästa sättet att nå de ambitiösa mål som uttrycks i t.ex. Agenda 2030, EU Green Deal och The Sustainable Finance Platform, är att gå samman, dela idéer och innovationer samt att starta nya kreativa samarbeten. Därför lanserar vi Agenda: Sustainability – en webbinarieserie där vi bjuder in aktörer från den privata och offentliga sfären att diskutera med intresseorganisationer, myndigheter och forskare hur man kan hitta effektiva sätt att lyckas med de hållbarhetsutmaningar vi har högt upp på våra agendor.
