2022 Global Solutions Forum
After two successful editions, we were excited to hold our third GSF in early 2022. Boasting new partnerships with both the Global Sustainable Technology & Innovation Community (G-STIC), the German Corporation for International Cooperation (GIZ), and PANORAMA - Solutions for a Healthy Planet, a partnership initiative to support peer-peer exchange around solutions, the 3rd edition of the GSF focused on hands-on solutions to build forward better, leaving no one behind.
The event was held on 18 January, 2022, in a hybrid format alongside the G-STIC in Dubai during the Global Goals Week at Expo 2020. A group of five selected global innovators from SDSN’s National and Regional Networks presented their breakthrough efforts to an audience of fellow academics who can help translate projects to other contexts, business leaders who are able to deploy at scale, policymakers who can help shape regulatory foundations, and non-governmental actors, including donors, civil society, and youth.
The concept of scalable solutions that lies at the heart of the GSF seeks to inspire and connect the diverse and global audience, equipping them with clear opportunities for action within the framework of the latest available science.
