The Trans-Pacific Sustainability Dialogue convened social science researchers and scientists from Stanford University and across the Asia-Pacific region, alongside policymakers, private and public sector experts, and emerging leaders to accelerate progress on achieving the United Nations-adopted 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The Dialogue aims to generate new research and policy partnerships to expedite the implementation of the Agenda's underlying framework of 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
The 2024 Dialogue focused on advancing SDG 9: Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure and was held at Stanford University on October 10 and 11, 2024.
This year's main host and organizer was Stanford University's Walter H. Shorenstein Asia-Pacific Research Center (Shorenstein APARC). The co-host was the Ban Ki-moon Foundation for a Better Future.
