<p>A decade ago saw the formal enactment of the UN’s Agenda 2030 and its 17 Sustainable Development Goals (adopted by all UN member states in 2015). Ten years on\, this Knowledge Session aims to (re)familiarise the audience with the SDGs\, discuss their genesis\, the progress (or lack thereof) in their attainment\, and explore some of the issues\, debates and criticisms surrounding them. It will ask whether the SDGs are fit for purpose\; and\, if so\, how and who should be responsible for implementing them - particularly in light of current geopolitical tensions. If\, however\, the SDGs themselves are not adequate to address today’s planetary and social crises\, it queries whether and how they should be revised.</p>
