SEMINAR: Africa and Sustainable Development Agendas

The African Union’s long-term strategy for the continent’s integration and sustainable development, termed Agenda 2063: The Africa We Want, seeks an ‘Integrated, prosperous and peaceful Africa, driven by its own citizens and representing a dynamic force in the global arena’. Agenda 2063 was produced alongside negotiations on the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, which declared 17 Sustainable Development Goals. At the same time, African governments and local communities have their own development priorities and plans. This interactive public panel discussion, featuring insights from experts from Australia and the African continent, will explore various intersections of different development priorities, agendas and frameworks—from the local to the regional to the global—and their likely impacts on Africa’s sustainable development.
