In his address to the IIEA, Professor Sachs will discuss how global recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic presents an opportunity to ‘build back better’ in seeking sustainable and equitable solutions to longstanding challenges.

Professor Sachs will consider how this can be achieved and what kind of blueprint the Sustainable Development Goals provide for recovery. Professor Sachs will reflect on the obstacles facing these efforts and the role to be played by a multilateral approach and the United Nations. This event is part of our Development Matters lecture series supported by Irish Aid and is open to the public and free to attend.
