SDSN Bulgaria Has Been Officially Launched

The Vice President and Head of the SDSN office in Paris Guillaume Lafortune expressed his gratitude to the Rector for hosting the event. He highlighted the importance of today's event for Bulgaria and emphasized on the importance of the SDGs worldwide. In his presentation he examined the status of the SDGs globally at the mid-point in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and presented a global vision of how the world could implement the SDGs. Mr. Lafortune appreciated the efforts of governments and their commitment and outlined the place of Bulgaria in the SDSN networks. He noted that after 2020 and during the COVID-19 pandemic, a little progress was made due to lack of global collaboration regarding the sustainable development of the countries. However, according to him the SDSN would not give up on the SDGs no matter what challenges they would face.
