Abstract

Education is a significant contributor to positive outcomes in all the Sustainable Development Goals. Recognizing the power of intersectional action from experts in education, health, technology, business, social development, and others is imperative to achieving a stronger and more sustainable world for current and future generations. To strengthen the connections between sectors, there needs to be articulated and intentional spaces for specialists to create integrative solutions to complex global problems.
