REVIEW<br />
Only ten years remain to implement<br />
2030 Agenda and the sustainable<br />
development goals (SDGs). In this regard,<br />
the macondo foundation and the German<br />
Global Compact Network (DGCN) organized<br />
the Global Goals Forum in Berlin,<br />
with the conference aptly titled “2030<br />
Agenda: Are we running out of time?”<br />
on October,10, 2019. Leaders from business,<br />
politics, civil society and academia<br />
were invited to discuss this topic, and<br />
the event was hosted around 400 guests.<br />
The Forum took stock of the progress<br />
made and the need for action in implementing<br />
the SDGs, also known as<br />
the Global Goals, four years after their<br />
adoption by the international community.<br />
The conference included exclusive<br />
video messages from António Guterres,<br />
Secretary-General of the United Nations,<br />
and Amina J. Mohammed, Deputy Secretary-General<br />
of the United Nations, both<br />
of whom highlighted the important voice<br />
of business in effectively implementing<br />
the Global Goals by 2030. >><br />
With the friendly support of<br />
