Episode 9. Towards Sustainable Development

This episode focuses on the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals. This global agenda is set to run until 2030, and covers a variety of areas: from eradicating of poverty and hunger, and developing healthcare and education, ensuring opportunities, access to water and energy, innovation, and safe and sustainable cities. To what extent are these goals integrated in the national strategies of the BRICS countries? What has already been implemented, and where is progress most noticeable? And which targets still remain to be achieved?

We will discuss this with our international experts. The guest in our Moscow studio is Kirill Logvinov, Director of the Department of International Organizations at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Envoy Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary, First Class.
