Today the SDG Academy is in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, at #MIPF2024 and we proudly announce our new initiative with the United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR) and UNIDO Capabilities 4 the Future Hub. Watch the live stream below (link to video in the comments). From Director Patrick Paul Walsh: "This is an initiative to coordinate governments, corporations and VET under UNIDO. We need industry that is kind to people, kind to planet." From SDG Academy Program Associate and BuildSkills Academy's Isabela Carrozza Joia: "[In addition to the BuildSkills Academy, the SDG Academy has another pilot program within the insurance industry]. Insurance isn't mentioned in the Pact for the Future, despite 'risk' being cited over 50 times. To highlight the insurance sector's contributions to the SDGs, the Sustainable Development Solutions Network partnered with Better Insurance Network and United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR) to produce a MOOC, hosted by the SDG Academy on Insurance and the SDGs, coming early 2025."

This week, Jeffrey Sachs, the President of the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network's delivered welcoming remarks at the 20th International Conference on Inclusive Insurance in Nepal. Read a wonderful summary from SDG Academy High-Level Advisory Council member Lorcán Hall below.
