Engaging Youth and Academia with the Global Sustainable Development Report 2023 | United Nations – un.org

In the Decade of Action for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs is building on its interdisciplinary strength to help, through its Policy Dialogues, all stakeholder groups respond to multi-dimensional and systemic risks in today’s interconnected world while showcasing the thought leadership of the Department on such critical issues as economic and financial instabilities, rising inequalities, population, and implementation of the SDGs. A set of live virtual dialogues explicitly held for college and university audiences has been developed within this framework. These “Global Policy Dialogues for the Classroom” will feature an expert presenting in-depth the major findings of one of the Department’s flagship reports, with time for questions from the audience. The first session of this new series is being organized in partnership with the United Nations Academic Impact (UNAI).

Since 2020, the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Energy Policy and Development Centre (KEPA) has led a tree planting initiative to celebrate the anniversary of the United Nations. In its first phase includes the planting of 4,984 trees that correspond to more than 105 tons of sequestrated CO2 per year, showcasing that trees are the silent allies for facing climate change. KEPA continues to serve as UNAI SDG Hub 7, to participate in the efforts to ensure access to clean and affordable energy for all.  
This event aimed to facilitate a discourse on academic research related to generative AI with a specific focus on advancing, promoting, and safeguarding gender equality. It will delve into the incorporation of human flaws, such as gender bias, into generative AI systems and emphasize the responsibility of academia and users in ensuring gender equality within these applications.
