Local Stakeholders
VISION FOR THE FUTURE
Whilst there are many efforts exerted at the global level, we believe it is also critical that similar discussion takes place in the local communities directly impacted. The summit brought together all echelons of the Somali private and public sectors including guests from the Somali Government, United Nations, Somali education system, Ambassadors, Civil Society as well as Somali business leaders.
A combination of keynote sessions and panel discussions guided the discourse around sustainable practices to make the global goals a local reality, with the common goal to advance the sustainability discussion from within the community it directly affects.
