On December 7th, European Green Capital Lahti and Sitowise welcome you to a virtual event on Agenda 2030 objectives: can digital solutions truly help cities in reaching the goals?

The sustainable development goals in the UN Agenda 2030 concern all countries in the world. The agenda includes 17 sustainable development goals which should be achieved by 2030. In a virtual event December 7th we ask, can smart city solutions accelerate the achievement of Agenda 2030 objectives. The keynote speaker is Global Cities Lead Jennifer Lenhart from WWF Sweden.

World leaders gathered recently in Glasgow for a climate summit to discuss common climate goals. Diplomacy plays an important role, but the most significant solutions for sustainable development are made at the city and regional level. The time to act is now. Cities need to be engaged in the Agenda 2030 in order to create true impact. Smart solutions, cooperation and open discussion is needed in order to support sustainable future in cities.

In this event, we present solutions to make sustainable development an integral part of decision-making and leadership in cities.

During the virtual event, we ask whether smart city solutions can truly accelerate the achievement of sustainable development goals in cities. The theme is approached with the following statements:

• Agenda 2030 goals will not be achieved without major efforts of cities.
• Digital solutions and data are key to meeting the goals of Agenda 2030.
• Cities will not succeed without cooperation, transparency and the sharing of best practices.

The webinar is organized by Sitowise and the European Green Capital Lahti. Register for the event here.
