1st Meeting of the UNAI SDGs HUBs, 7-8 October 2024

The United Nations Academic Impact (UNAI), with more than 1600 academic institutions as members across the globe, has designated 16 members as global hubs to promote the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) included in the “2030 Agenda for the Sustainable Development”.

As is well known, the “Agenda” is the action plan agreed by all UN member states for people, planet and prosperity. A plan that, through the efforts to achieve the 169 individual goals, seeks to strengthen world peace, with greater freedom for people.

With just five years to go to achieve the SDGs, the 1st Meeting of UN Academic Hubs on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) will take place in Athens, between 6 and 11 October 2024.

Distinguished scientists from the world, along with their ambassadors in Athens and market players will participate in order to exchange views 1) on the extrovert participation of the academic community in the efforts to achieve the SDGs (7 Oct. 24) and 2) with hosted UNAI SDG Hubs as speakers at the annual international “Green Energy Investments Forum” (9 Oct. 24),  which is conducted under the auspices of BSEC.
