The pandemic has exacerbated existing global problems, but solutions to many of these challenges already exist all around the world. In many cases, because they are not scaled up globally, local solutions never reach their full potential thereby significantly reducing their SDG achievement impact. In this context, it is more important than ever to shine light on the most transformative and scalable solutions from within SDSN’s unique knowledge network – those that shape the path towards a sustainable future, leaving no one behind.
The 4th edition of the Global Solutions Forum, organized by the Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN), aimed to elevate these solutions to a global audience and bring changemakers together to catalyze progress and inspire one another for a great impact.
The event opened with a speech by Jeffrey Sachs, president of SDSN. He celebrated the organization of such a conference in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, a city that hosted two key summits for sustainable development, the Rio World Summit, when governments committed to three critical environmental commitments back in 1992, and the Rio+20 Summit in 2012, where the SDGs had their genesis.
