“Recording of the first Virtual Town Hall for the series ‘Canada’s Sustainable Future – Creating a Digital Action Plan‘ that took place September 22, 2021. Hosted by Future Earth, Sustainability in the Digital Age, and the Canadian Science Policy Centre.
The United Nations 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) provide a focus for global action on clean water, climate, good health, equity, and well-being. We want to explore the challenges and opportunities of using digital innovation to bring attention and energize our communities around the SDGs and to connect all peoples in Canada with the natural world. Strengthening our personal connection to nature is a first step toward building awareness of what we could lose by not paying attention to our natural environment. With new digital tools to gather data about our physical and social environments, to share information and crowdsource solutions, what could a sustainable future in Canada look like?
This national, online dialogue series is funded by the Government of Canada’s Sustainable Development Goals Funding Program. (The opinions and interpretations in this publication are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect those of the Government of Canada.)”
