Sustainability Webinars 2020
As we are currently unable to offer the KESS 2 Sustainability Workshops face to face we have adapted them to run as webinars. These webinars are designed to help you understand how your research contributes to sustainability and the Well-being of Future Generations (WFG), the overarching sustainable development framework in Wales. It will be an opportunity to find out how the WFG is relevant to your research, your industrial partner and academic institution. There will also be an opportunity to explore how your research contributes to the well-being goals and national indicators and the Wales we all want. Read more about our commitment to sustainability and the well-being of future generations.

Sustainable Development Goals (United Nations Goal of the Month) Webinar Series
Part of the KESS 2 & KESS 2 East sustainability webinar series reflecting the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal of the Month.
In July, we look at the importance of Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure for the Sustainable Development Goals – SDG 9 – as the foundation to build back better in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic (and to prepare us for two other challenges – Brexit and climate change). A strong and resilient infrastructure remains the backbone of thriving communities. It is the driving force to ensure access to sustainable, smart and innovative technologies, equitable rights to innovation, financial markets and jobs.

The webinar will be led by Dr Gwenith Elias, The Sustainability Lab, Bangor University.
