TBLI Talk: Redefining Development - What it takes

Paula Caballero is widely recognized as the lead proponent of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) which she conceptualized, positioned and negotiated.

She also led the agreement to create a technical, science-based group to develop the SDGs. The SDGs have changed how we understand and view development, proposing for the first time a truly universal agenda without the artifice of the distinction between “developed and developing” countries.  For this work she was awarded the German Sustainability Award in 2019 and the Zayed International Prize for the Environment in 2014 for her contribution to “environmental action leading to positive change”.  

What you will learn:

Why the SDGs represent a paradigm shift

What is needed to actually implement the SDGs
