Event description:
WITHOUT A DECISIVE TURNAROUND IMPOSED ON THE CONTEMPORARY ECONOMIC SCOURGES, THERE WILL BE NO END TO THE WORSENING INEQUALITIES, DEPLETION OF RESOURCES AND ENVIRONMENTAL DEGRADATION. THE UNITED NATIONS AGENDA 2030, AND THE ACCOMPANYING SDGS STRATEGY, OFFERS THE OPPORTUNITY FOR SSE TO DEMONSTRATE THE RANGE OF ITS INVENTIVENESS, PERMANENCE AND RESILIENCE IN ALL AREAS OF DAILY LIFE: COOPERATIVES, CULTURE, SOCIAL PROTECTION, HEALTH, ETC.
THE ACHIEVEMENTS OF SSE AS A MEANS OF ACHIEVING SDGS, TRANSFORMING THE ECONOMY AND BUILDING THE SOCIAL FUTURE REPRESENT AN OPEN FIELD, BASED ON RECENT RECOMMENDATIONS, DECLARATIONS, PARTNERSHIPS, AND COMMITMENTS AT THE HIGHEST LEVELS – GOVERNMENTS, INTERNATIONAL BODIES, AND MULTINATIONALS. WHY PROMOTE SSE? THE MOMENTUM IS UNANIMOUS: BECAUSE SSE ENTERPRISES OFFER THE MEANS FOR A MORE HARMONIOUS, MORE TEMPERATE DEVELOPMENT, BOTH ECONOMICALLY AND SOCIALLY AND ECOLOGICALLY. RECIPROCALLY, THE DRIVE GIVEN BY SDGS IN SEARCH OF MEANS OF ACCOMPLISHMENT PROVIDE A FAVOURABLE FRAMEWORK FOR ITS INFLUENCE, IN REGARD OF ACHIEVING THE 2030 AGENDA.
THIS SYMBIOSIS WILL PLAY A CRUCIAL ROLE IN CREATING THE CONDITIONS FOR A MORE RESPECTFUL GLOBALIZATION, TO ACCOMPANY THE ENTHUSIASMS, DEMANDS AND AMBITIONS OF YOUTH, WOMEN, WORKERS ORGANIZING SOLIDARITY, EVERYWHERE, TO CHANGE LIVES.
THE STAKES ARE HIGH: SHOWING THAT POLITICAL, ECONOMIC, SOCIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL OBJECTIVES CAN ONLY BE ACHIEVED IF THE WHOLE OF SOCIETY AND ITS ACTORS ARE COMMITTED, BECAUSE SDGS ARE CROSS-SECTORAL, INTERTWINING AND INTERWEAVING ALL THESE DIMENSIONS TOGETHER. SSE ENABLES CITIZENS AND BUSINESSES TO TAKE OWNERSHIP OF THESE OBJECTIVES AND INSPIRES THE NECESSARY BEHAVIOURAL CHANGES.
