Co-creating a world where current and future generations thrive.
‍
SDG Lab at UN Geneva is a multi-stakeholder innovation space for the SDGs and long-term sustainability. 

As part of a partnership between the Graduate Institute and UN Geneva, this so “What’s Next?” dialogue series aim to unpack new perspectives and insight on the SDGs and long-term sustainability. Through interactive dialogues, sustainability actors from the Geneva ecosystem and beyond will share their perspectives on what’s next in this dynamic and evolving space.

The SDG Lab recently took part in the 52nd St. Gallen Symposium, which had as its theme “A New Generational Contract”. The Symposium served as a unique moment to exchange on such topics and other concepts aligned to the Lab’s new vision and mission and to create more visibility and interest in its ‘2.0’ narrative and thought leadership.

The SDG Lab has entered a new phase of its existence: With more than six years of serving as an innovation hub for the SDGs – situated within UN Geneva – and spearheading movements such as Building Bridges for sustainable finance, the SDG Lab is in the midst of a strategic transformation process towards a 2.0 version.
