Details
Organized by the United Nations Global Compact and Global Compact Network Lebanon, the Making Global Goals Local Business (MGGLB) forum in Lebanon will bring together regional and global leaders from business, civil society, government, and Global Compact Local Networks in the Middle East to catalyze a collective action affecting the Ten Principles and the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). As a precursor to global discussions on regional SDG progress taking place later this year, the event will be an opportunity to show leading examples of multi-stakeholder collaboration that stand as a strong model for others looking to partner at the Regional Level.
