“Recording of the second Virtual Town Hall for the series ‘Canada’s Sustainable Future – Creating a Digital Action Plan‘ that took place September 29, 2021. Hosted by Future Earth, Sustainability in the Digital Age, and the Canadian Science Policy Centre.
Our world is facing systemic challenges related to the environment, health and society that are too complex to resolve by a single organization or sector. We must foster cross-sectoral and interdisciplinary collaborations that merge digital innovations with sustainability science, to drive change toward Canada’s 2030 agenda for sustainable development. Digital platforms and the circular economy are creating opportunities to reflect on the best ways to balance digital capabilities, sustainability, and equity in society. Learning from the successes and challenges of cross-sectoral partnerships in Canada, we will explore funding mechanisms and other enablers to bring the public, private and plural sectors together to support societal goals.
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.)”
