The SDSN AusNZPac member forum on 25 November 2020 discussed what we can learn from the COVID crisis that will help us accelerate progress on the SDGs.
We were excited to be joined by Prof Jeffrey Sachs – President of SDSN, Director of the Center for Sustainable Development at Columbia University, an SDG Advocate for UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, and Chair of the Lancet COVID-19 Commission – about his general observations and early learnings from the Lancet Commission.
Several other experts from across our region shared insights from innovative projects they are involved with that are looking at the impacts of COVID in our region and their implications for the post-COVID world:
- Prof Peter Newman (Curtin University): COVID, Climate & Cities
- Prof Peter Kelly (RMIT University): COVID and young people
- Associate Prof Louise Phillips (JCU Singapore): Teaching & Learning in COVID times
- Dr Paul Maginn (UWA): The impacts of COVID on CBDs
- John Thwaites (Monash University): Transforming Australia 2020 SDG Progress Report
