Responsible Business and the SDGs: A Roadmap to Prosperity

The 2024 A4ID annual conference, 'Responsible Business and the SDGs: A Roadmap to Prosperity' will focus on the UN Prosperity Chapters of the Sustainable Development Goals: 8-11.

The prosperity goals are all concerned with achieving a higher standard of living: Affordable and clean energy (SDG 7); decent work and economic growth (SDG 8); industry, innovation and infrastructure (SDG 9); reduced inequalities (SDG 10); and sustainable cities and communities (SDG 11).

This year's annual conference will bring together experts from the legal and development sectors to discuss the role of lawyers in enhancing and enabling the economic well-being and growth of people worldwide. Global crises such as climate change, Covid-19, and the Russian invasion of Ukraine have slowed progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals.

In 2023 the World Bank witnessed slow economic growth and high inflation rates impact standards of living worldwide. This year's conference will provide an opportunity to take a deeper look at how we understand and measure prosperity, and how the legal sector can support development efforts.
