Description
What impact will COVID-19 have on the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)? How will the pandemic affect our ability to access vulnerable and hard-to-reach populations, particularly where health systems are already constrained and have limited resources? Will the global health and economic implications of the pandemic render it impossible to achieve the SDGs by 2030? Does this crisis present an opportunity to address inequality and work toward sustainability in new ways?
In this Munk School / Innovation Policy Lab online event, join experts Anita McGahan, Joseph Wong and Karlee Silver for a deep dive into how COVID-19 will affect our efforts to address the world’s grand challenges. The discussion will be moderated by Anna Maria Tremonti.
