The COVID-19 pandemic is a significant setback for all the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) created by the United Nations to "achieve a better and more sustainable future for all by 2030."

How can we use this make-or-break moment to revitalise the 2030 Agenda and emerge from the crisis stronger and more resilient?

Kirsten Brosbøl, Founder & CEO of 2030beyond and former Member of Parliament and Minister of Environment of Denmark, in conversation with Christian Vanizette, Co-Founder of makesense.org:

  • How far have we come since the creation of the SDGs in 2015?
  • How has the COVID-19 crisis affected the 2030 Agenda and what can we learn from it?
  • Why don’t 50% of people trust their governments, and how can political leaders do better?
  • What is the role of civic engagement in SDG implementation?

About Kirsten's Parliamentarians for the Global Goals (PfGG) Leadership-in-Action programme ⚡️

PfGG stands at the crossroads of the Climate, Social, and Economic crises, and of the Democracy crisis. Its main purpose and mission is to accelerate action by Members of Parliaments for SDG implementation. We therefore work with Parliamentarians from around the world, to support their work and create a concrete positive impact.

We are looking for ambitious scholars, who want to manage a project from start to completion in an international, political environment. We don’t need you to have any previous knowledge or experience in a political organisation, we only ask that you are able to work in an organised way and have an interest for the SDGs - we fully trust that Laidlaw Scholars will do just fine learning on the job!

There are 2 projects on which we will onboard scholars. Depending on either your background or your interest, you are welcome to join one or the other.
