Earlier, I was on a preparation call for an online panel. I was tasked to share insights on how is it going with the SDGs, in a Nordic context, during COVID-19. I talked about Climate Action<\/a>, Gender Equality<\/a>, and what is happening in Denmark these days. I went on how there\u2019s a consensus in the government to reopen society, taking sustainability and climate action into consideration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

White, rich, and privileged<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Where we need to join together and share stories that might not be in the mainstream media but still need to be shared anyway. And that is what we’re trying to do tomorrow on an online panel put together and moderated by Swarnima Shrestha, a fellow +Social Good Connector of mine. You should join us!<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
