【Telugu Archives】

As global citizens,Telugu Archives we all want to change the world for the better — but in anxious times, it can be difficult to know how to join the conversation about solutions to the world’s major issues. That’s where the Social Good Summit comes in.

Now in its tenth year, the Social Good Summit brings together leading thinkers — activists, politicians, scientists, diplomats, artists, and more — for a day of inspired conversation on how we can all help our global community achieve the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by the target year of 2030. These goals seek to improve the quality of life for all people, lifting up everyone and leaving no one behind.

This year’s Summit will focus on a truly global issue, one that affects every single one of the SDGs: climate change. The 2019 Social Good Summit has already announced a diverse range of speakers, and now we’re excited to announce the second wave of speakers.
