We are at a critical moment in time. 
Rising inequality, environmental degradation and seemingly endless conflicts are making life increasingly uncertain and insecure for many. There are voices growing louder that blame those who are different for these misfortunes. Appeals to our worst instincts say we should retreat behind walls—and the rest of the world can fend for itself.

Say hello to 2030!
In 2015, the United Nations established the 17 Sustainable Development Goals: the most ambitious set of goals for humanity. These goals range from eliminating extreme poverty, to tackling climate change.  With only 11 years left to achieve these goals, now's the time to get together and work relentlessly to create a better future, for all. On March 15, come join Concordia's largest conference about the 17 SDGs! Our valued guest speaker from the UN Debriefings is Francesca De Ferrari, accompanied by leaders of local, sustainable businesses and associations.
You will have the chance to ask our speakers questions during the conference and have the opportunity to speak with them afterwards around great vegan food.  Attending this conference will award you with an SDGs training certificate from the Global Engineering Initiative, which will be emailed to you post-event. 
Now's the time to choose: "Me first", or "US TOGETHER".
IMPORTANT: Please note that this event is vegan and zero-waste. Please bring your own cup for coffee and other beverages. No food from the lounge is allowed in the conference room. All money raised from this event will go towards supporting students' sustainable initiatives, such as the implementation of vermi-composts and reducing the use of single-use plastics and other entities.
