The ongoing global pandemic and recent invasion of Ukraine has put the global business community into the spotlight specifically in relation to its Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) commitments. The unfolding situation has heightened the global business community’s critical role in upholding key ESG values such as the rule of law, good governance, and human rights. Subsequently, its response to global Climate Change, Environment Disaster Risk Reduction, and Crisis Management is vital in our shared pursuit of a sustainable future for all. Within this context, this panel discussion on “Catalyzing Private Sector Engagement: Moving the Needle on Sustainability” intends to break down sector silos and demonstrate the important synergies between the private sector ESG goals and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This discussion will ultimately catalyze greater private sector commitments that are crucial in achieving a sustainable future.

What inspires an artist? There are countless possibilities to answer this question, all as individual as the artists themselves. But throughout the history of art one of the consistent inspirations is ‘travel’ - the location and surroundings in which the artists find themselves.
