🎉 The UN just turned 80! Despite shifting global vibes, multilateralism—where countries team up—has never been more vital.
In this fresh episode of BizTalk, CGTN’s Zheng Junfeng caught up with Sanda Ojiambo, Assistant Secretary-General and CEO of the UN Global Compact (UNGC), the world’s largest corporate sustainability initiative. They dived into how UNGC helps businesses align with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)—a set of 17 objectives tackling everything from poverty to climate action.
So, what’s the UNGC playbook? Imagine a guide that shows startups in Bangalore how to go green 🔋 or fintech apps in Jakarta how to ensure financial inclusion 📲. That’s UNGC’s vibe—pairing big-picture ideas with real-world business moves.
And yes, China’s contributions popped up too: from the Belt and Road Initiative paving new infrastructure lanes to the Global Development Initiative boosting collaboration across continents. It’s all about creating win-win scenarios.
For young pros in South and Southeast Asia, this episode is a wake-up call: sustainability isn’t just a buzzword—it’s the next frontier for innovation, investment, and impact. 🌱 Ready to plug in? Tune in and see how your next startup idea could be the change our world needs!
