SDG 11 – Seminar Series

The European Union Centre at RMIT is hosting an SDG 11 seminar on 25th February 2020. This seminar focusses on SDG 11 and offers an opportunity to explore the intent of the goal, its targets, and some of the initiatives being undertaken to deliver on the targets.

The Jean Monnet Sustainable Development Goals Network opens its 2020 program with an exploration of Sustainable Development Goal 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities. SDG 11 aims to ‘make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable’. What does this mean, and how will this be achieved? What projects are already underway to deliver on this goal?

This seminar builds on the 2018-2019 program, which covered the first ten Goals. In 2020, the Network will host seminars on each of the remaining seven Goals. Each seminar will be accompanied by a Policy Brief, further exploring the ideas and issues raised during the discussion.
