SUSTAINABILITY & ESG MARKETS

This year, prizes were awarded in 9 nominations: “Good Health and Well-Being”, “Quality Education”, “Clean Water and Sanitation”, “Affordable and Clean Energy”, “Decent Work and Economic Growth”, “Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure”, “Reduced Inequalities”, “Sustainable Cities and Communities”, and “Partnerships for the Goals”.

The need for reform has been given added urgency by the rapidly approaching deadline to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals which make up the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, created to set out measurable targets for building a better future by the end of the decade.

The WMO Secretary-General also noted the potential of new technologies such as “digital twin” – which creates a virtual replica of a physical object – and virtual reality – which offers immersive simulated environments – to help achieve universally agreed Sustainable Development Goals and enhance disaster preparedness.
