Navigating Challenges, Leveraging Opportunities in a Reforming Economy to Achieve the SDGs
About This Edition
The 8th Sustainability Table Discourse Series served as a platform for addressing the urgent need for sustainable development in Nigeria's evolving economic landscape. The event convened over 300 key stakeholders, including government officials, corporate leaders, academics, and civil society representatives.
"Multi-sectoral collaboration is essential to align national progress with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals — no single sector can achieve the SDGs alone."
A major focus of the discourse was the Orange Economy and its potential to drive economic growth through the creative industries, while fostering social impact, community development, and gender equality. To realize this potential, participants called for strategic policies, infrastructure development, and increased investment.
The discourse also explored sustainability in agriculture, waste management, telecommunication and renewable energy, advocating for ESG integration, circular economy models, and innovative technologies supported by public-private partnerships.
The event concluded with strategic recommendations including stronger stakeholder collaboration, MSME support, human capital investment, sectoral innovation, and policy reform.
