New University Chair for SDSN Italy
On October 16, 2024, the launch of the new University Chair for SDSN Italy marked a significant milestone, with Università degli Studi di Brescia and Politecnico di Torino now serving as the host institutions for SDSN Italy.
As co-chair of SDSN Europe alongside Prof. Jeffrey Sachs, President of the Sustainable Development Solutions Network, Professor Phoebe Koundouri had the privilege of speaking at the University of Brescia during the seminar titled “A New Vision for the Future: Moving Beyond the 2030 Agenda.” The seminar, organized by the University’s Center for Research and Documentation for the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda (CRA2030), drew nearly 200 participants, including academics, students, and community members.
The event opened with remarks from Prof. Francesco Castelli, Rector of the University of Brescia, and Prof. Michele Pezzagno, co-chair of SDSN Italy. Alongside Prof. Sachs, Professor Koundouri shared key insights on the Pact for the Future, a global initiative endorsed by world leaders at the UN General Assembly in September in New York.
