Global Sustainable Development Congress 2022: Highlights from Glasgow

THE’s Global Sustainable Development Congress 2022 was hosted in partnership with the University of Glasgow on 31 October - 1 November and delivered an immersive, multi-track agenda tackling the big issues around the SDGs, with world leaders and influencers sharing their insights on the challenges faced in converting the goals into action and impact.

Delegates from 40 countries came together to tackle some of the big issues around the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals, with world leaders, changemakers and influencers sharing powerful case studies on how they are converting the goals into action to drive sustainable change.

A tree was planted on behalf of everyone who registered for this event. Working with the Woodland Trust, over 300 native Scottish trees will be planted in the neighbouring Cochno Farm and Research Centre.

"It’s very important that universities come together in a congress like this because they are thought leaders. We are in a very urgent moment where the window is closing on a good future for our children and grandchildren."
– Mary Robinson, Adjunct professor of climate justice, Trinity College Dublin
