THIS EVENT IS ALSO FOR STUDENTS.
There are many gaps that need to be bridged if we’re going to reach the 2030 target date for meeting the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals. Under the influence of a cascade of crises (including climate, poverty, education, democracy, debt) the world is seriously off track in seizing the opportunities as well as managing the risks related to the 2030 agenda. Who carries responsibilities for what? What should be prioritized? What’s the role of finance and the private sector?
Overcoming the various gaps between intention and realisation requires future-resilient strategies, a new mindset, organisational capabilities, skills, and the willingness to jointly invest in sustainable business practices. In this discussion, we will be joined by stakeholders from business, government, civil society, and knowledge institutes.
The RSM Mind the Gap event invites everyone – stakeholders from business, government, civil society, and knowledge institutes – to consider and discuss:
- What has been achieved since 2015?
- What gaps need to be filled?
- How can we overcome the gaps?
There will be an opening panel, break-out sessions, and a valedictory lecture by prof. dr. Rob van Tulder.
Panel speakers:
- Jan Peter Balkenende, Former Prime Minister of the Netherlands, Partner Corporate Responsibility at EY, and Professor Emeritus of Governance, Institutions, and Internationalisation at Erasmus University Rotterdam.
- Merei Wagenaar, Executive Director of UN Global Compact Network Netherlands.
- Sandra Pellegrom, National Coordinator for Sustainable Development Goals at the Ministery of Foreign Affairs.
- Herman Mulder, Chairman board SDG Nederland.
- Inge Hutter, Professor of Participatory and Qualitative Research in Population and Development at Erasmus University Rotterdam’s International Institute of Social Studies.
Registration is free!
