Good to sit down this week with David Connor from 2030 Hub and talk all things sustainability alongside my colleague Clare Ellis

Global Goals Week Liverpool may have previously passed you by.

If it did, well 2023 was spectacular.

Lord McConnell opened proceedings.

Cllr Liam Robertson confirmed the city’s climate commitments.

18 events took place across the Liverpool City Region.

And, Al Pacino no less, gave a ‘half-time pep talk’ with a global audience reach to be envied.

This year’s plans will bring together leaders, policymakers, business leaders, community organisations, students and youth groups from around the region and the world, to share best practices, showcase innovative solutions, demand bolder leadership and develop new partnerships.

From September 22nd to 27th, 2030hub will host and support a wide variety of launches, interactive events, workshops, networking opportunities, and online content all designed to inspire and empower participants to take action to leave nobody behind and tackle climate change.

Liverpool is already ‘Most Improved Sustainable Destination’ awarded by the Global Destination Sustainability Index.

David’s call to action to all Liverpool City Region stakeholders includes:

Take Action – Host your own sustainability / networking / educational event. Launch something new. Commit to be bolder!
Advocate – Use this week to campaign for the change you want to see! Who can you influence or support? Share your successes!
Collaborate – Actively support all local Global Goals activities.

This year, 2030hub will be connecting Liverpool to the world through a locally relevant programme based on five key themes being announced at the UN General Assembly at UN HQ in New York at the same time. The announcement of this ‘Pact of the Future’ at this year’s upcoming Summit of the Future aims to enhance cooperation on global challenges by focusing on:
1.    Sustainable development and financing for development
2.    International Peace and Security
3.    Science, technology and innovation and digital cooperation
4.    Youth and Future Generations
5.    Transforming global governance

This year could be interesting too as GGWL2024 will be overlapping the Labour Party Conference also being hosted in Liverpool.

There are just a few partner and sponsorship opportunities left.
