Professor Jeffrey Sachs, Director of SDSN
Adopted by all countries in September 2015, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) call on us all to eradicate poverty, ensure that all children reach their full potential, support peaceful and healthy communities, and conserve nature. The vast majority of people around the world support these goals, but many do not know about them or have difficulty relating to them.
The artists who bring you Concert for a Sustainable Planet hope to address this gap, by fostering a dialogue and inspiring us to action. This concert inspired hope, dedication, and commitment among groups of people worldwide to build a better planet together and foster positive change in society. The concert built active connections between the performers on stage and the audience.
