About the Event
The rise in climate emergencies and social inequalities including fires, floods and housing crisis has necessitated thoughts on sustainable development and how might we collectively enable inclusive pathways for thriving futures. We are hosting conversations with interested community to reflect on enabling desired futures.
“The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), also known as the Global Goals, were adopted by the United Nations in 2015 as a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure that by 2030 all people enjoy peace and prosperity.” (Sustainable Development Goals | United Nations Development Programme, n.d.)

Through a mixed method case study approach, a team of researchers look to explore the question, “How do we deeply engage DAL community voices and span boundaries within Halifax to interact, co-create, and co-inspire actions towards climate action and sustainable development by (re)imagining desired futures?” We will employ research methods integrating a combination of surveys, expressive arts, and focus group discussions
