Bridge 5: Strengthening Cross-Sector Collaboration


Join this online written discussion to exchange perspectives, examples, and experiences on how to strengthen cross-sector collaboration.

LIVE 16 July 10am GMT+1 [ADD TO CALENDAR] and 3pm GMT + 1 [ADD TO CALENDAR]

Background

The world is at a critical turning point. With the 2030 deadline for the Global Goals fast approaching, there is a growing urgency to surface bold ideas, practical examples, and collective action that can accelerate progress. As part of our journey towards the Global Goals Summit in September, we are launching a series of community sessions. The community session will take place in the morning and afternoon on the 21st of May and on the 16th of July, followed by a final reflective session during the Global Goals Summit.

Tackling complex global challenges requires businesses to collaborate across industries, with policymakers, and with civil society. This bridge enables companies to maximise their impact on the issues most material to their operations while leveraging the expertise, resources, and networks of others, ensuring collective action drives systemic change beyond what any one organisation can achieve alone.

These sessions will be online via Zoom, but also hybrid in selected locations (e.g. Nairobi, Lagos, Brazil, TBC). They will combine written contributions, real-time discussion, and community-led insights.
