The year 2023 marks the beginning of the second half of the United Nations’ global effort to achieve the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that make up its development agenda, Agenda 2030. In the context of sustainable development, media serves as a critical tool for educating, activating, and encouraging communities worldwide to participate in addressing the SDGs. When balanced and protected, media has the potential of bridging divides and fostering partnership, progress, and social inclusion.

On July 29, 2023, WFWP USA will host a webinar on “Media and SDG 17: Bridging divides and fostering connection.” WFWP USA will welcome media and communication experts for a discussion on the intersection between media and SDG 17: Partnership for the Goals. Panelists will reflect on media and messaging impact and responsibility towards the public, challenges presented by the current social climate, and their best practices in creating an environment for partnership through the power of media and storytelling.
