The World Economic Forum Annual Meeting in Davos is one of the foremost gatherings to bring together leaders from across sectors to share ideas and discuss industry, regional, and global agendas.

As the world continues to build progress toward historic global agreements – the Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Agreement on climate change – to end poverty, promote prosperity for all, and protect the planet, the UN Foundation, GSMA, the UN’s Department of Public Information, Guggenheim Partners, and other partners are collaborating to engage people around the world in the important conversations happening at Davos.

#SDGLive will broadcast live from the Goal 17 Partnership Space in the heart of Davos to share panel discussions, interviews, photos, and other digital content beyond Davos to people across the globe. Each day from January 17-19, you will be able to join in the conversation during a live broadcast featuring leading voices in business and global development discuss how we can come together to advance solutions to the world’s biggest challenges.
