Reception starts: 6:30pm

As world leaders meet to forge a new international consensus on how to deliver a better present and safeguard the future, education is a common theme offering a solution to address these challenges.
An educated world is necessary to deal with the problems of today and of the future, including an educated young generation to adapt to changing climate needs.
How can the Sustainable Development Goal for education unlock progress for all the Global Goals and deliver a better, stronger, resilient planet for an educated younger generation to take forward?
Join us for a discussion among leaders of government, international institutions, business, philanthropy, youth movements, civil society and academia to identify and celebrate the solutions that education can bring to address contemporary challenges and promote opportunity and hope.
