Location :
Geneva, Switzerland
Two years after the establishment of two historic global agreements – the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development with its 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Paris Agreement on Climate Change – leaders and other change agents from government, business, research and NGOs will come to Switzerland, host of the United Nations, to talk about how to accelerate the revolution.
How should we manage, coordinate, finance, track progress, learn, train and communicate about it?
The WRF 2017 will take place at the Centre International de Conferences (CICG) in Geneva (western Switzerland), easily accessible from Geneva airport.
