Sustainable Organisations & Communities - Sharing of best practices with UN and UNIGE practioners

Discover our past event at the commons about how organizations and communities, including UN system entities and academic institutions, can best implement the Sustainable Development Goals and environmental initiatives in effective, meaningful ways. The session focused on how to build and realize sustainability reporting, practical initiatives and programs, and strategies unique to each environment. It also explored how to encourage culture change and participation from communities and colleagues.

This interactive session, held in collaboration with UN and University of Geneva (UNIGE) partners, aimed to provide insights and best practices on moving towards more sustainable organizations. Participants had the chance to discuss and ask questions to various practitioners across a range of themes, from reporting and developing a strategy to internal initiatives and participation. The session also featured reflections on the challenges, opportunities, and lessons learned in implementing sustainability initiatives.
