Type of Session
Discussion Symposium
Abstract
The speakers in this symposium will discuss the issues on the UN Post-2015 Sustainable Development Agenda and the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This agenda and these goals are likely to be of broad interest and importance to the AESS membership. This symposium discussion would be to build AESS membership on new and innovative sustainable development agendas and goals and identify environmental science and research themes and issues, and the potential role of environmental science departments and educators. Included in this discussion is a discussion of climate and sustainability finance, public and private partnerships, and government administration and e-government for sustainability. AESS hosted a webinar on the UN SDGs, which includes an updated information webpage on the Post-2015 Sustainable Development Agenda, which is found at http://www.aess.info/content.aspx?page_id=22&club_id=939971&module_id=163287.
