The role of the private sector in sustainable development

The recently adopted 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development with its 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) offers a multi-dimensional framework to achieve economic growth, social inclusion and environmental protection. Achieving the SDGs requires the involvement of various actors across society, and often in very new ways. One of the key players that has been put forward to achieve the 2030 Agenda is the private sector.

In the 2019 ‘Debating Development’ series we seek out the most contentious issues in the relationship between business and development. We organize timely debates between academics, NGOs and representatives from the private sector around six challenging topics.
