About the Sustainable Development Goals in Brazil 2024

The SDGs in Brazil is the largest corporate sustainability gathering in the world, organized by the Brazilian network of the UN Global Compact. It brings together hundreds of top leaders for panels, discussions, and networking around issues of environment, human rights, labor, integrity, and finance.

The event will take place on September 19 and 20, during the week of the UN General Assembly, when hundreds of countries, heads of state, and thousands of other global leaders gather in New York City to discuss the most pressing issues facing society.

Held at the United Nations Headquarters, in the Delegates Dining Room, the SDGs in Brazil offers a unique and impactful experience, where panelists and guests have the opportunity to interact in the international headquarters of the United Nations.

Activities

Each year, the SDGs in Brazil holds consistent debates with organizations to reduce inequalities and advance concrete actions through initiatives focused on issues of race, gender, climate, circularity, anti-corruption, and education. Within this agenda, we highlight one day to concentrate on a critical theme.

In the last two editions, Indigenous peoples were the focus of this discussion; for 2024, the emphasis will be on racial equity.

In 2024, we will have keynote speakers, panels and many networking opportunities.
