PROJECT 255

From July 6th to July 15th there is a United Nations conference focused on the Sustainable Development Goals with 255 events ONLINE, FREE AND OPEN to everyone on the planet with internet access. When I first heard about the “High Level Political Forum” I assumed it was not open to the public, but when I read the full program I was amazed by the number of free, online events available to the general public. As I browsed through the list I organized them by the 17 Sustainable Development Goals, noting that many topics are interconnected with other SDGs. If the event was too broad or unrelated I labeled it as ‘General & Miscellaneous’. The events are listed below. If you have questions, comments or suggestions please contact me.

Thanks, Joel

All events are ONLINE and all times are in NYC TIME ZONE (U.S. Eastern Standard Time)
