How are organizations and activists facilitating transformational change in our existing food systems? 

BC Council for International Cooperation is hosting a virtual panel event titled “Leveraging the SDGs for Transformational Change: Case Studies from the Global South” on November 18th, 8:00am – 10:00am PST. Leading-thinkers from Africa, Asia, and South America will share their wealth of experiences in how working with SDGs can promote transformational change in the Global South.

This event may be of particular interest to those of you who are interested in sustainable food systems since Ntiokam Divine, who has recently been selected as a UN 2021 Champion of the Food Systems Summit, will be speaking directly about his work in agriculture and climate sectors.

The event will consist of a moderated discussion panel for the first hour and a half and the last 30 mins will be dedicated to individual breakout rooms with the panelist of your choice to discuss the topics you are interested in.

We will also have other panelists who will be sharing their expertise in other diverse fields.

Speakers include:

Pam Rajput, Director of the Centre for Women’s Studies & Development

Shanta Laxmi Shrestha, Immediate-Past President & Honourable Chairperson, Beyond Beijing Committee

Ntiokam Divine, Managing Director and President of the Climate Smart Agriculture Youth Network & UN 2021 Champion of the Food Systems Summit
