UN Global Goals Conversation, hosted by NFTE and presented by the Citi Foundation, EY, and ServiceNow

Join Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship (NFTE) at 4:30 p.m. ET on Thursday, November 16 for its sixth annual UN Global Goals Conversation. NFTE hosts this thought leadership event in partnership with the United Nations to mark Global Entrepreneurship Week and explore social entrepreneurship solutions that advance UN Sustainable Development Goals.

Presented by the Citi Foundation, EY, and ServiceNow, this year’s theme is “Climate Change: A Human Issue.” 

The climate change crisis continues to require viable solutions from those who live on this planet. It is a human issue that tomorrow’s global innovators and problem-solvers must resolve if environmental disruptions and climate change-driven injustices are to end. It is a mantle of leadership that today’s socially responsible corporations, small businesses, and entrepreneurs of all ages take up from their positions of community influence.

Panelists will address such poignant questions as: How are adults and young people applying the entrepreneurial mindset to crafting an environmental defense for the planet’s existing resources? What ingenious ideas are arising to solve climate dangers that hit the world’s most vulnerable populations the hardest? Among the expert voices confirmed thus far are:

• Omar Hernández, Public Information Officer and Program Manager of United Nations Academic Impact; Outreach Division, Department of Global Communications;
• Dr. Matthew Bell, Global Climate Change and Sustainability Service Leader, EY;
• Emer Clarke, Senior Manager, Environmental Sustainability, ServiceNow; and
• NFTE Alumnus Jason Lin, CEO of MVMNT, an app that helps people make sustainable choices in their everyday lives.

There is no cost to register for this livestreamed gathering of diverse academics, business innovators, industry and philanthropic leaders, and emerging social entrepreneurs. Only registered attendees will receive the participation link and may ask questions of the panelists, so please reserve your place early at https://www.nfte.com/events.
