Deadly Sway: Harmful Industries and the Global Goals
Reaching the Sustainable Development Goals represents our best chance to improve health and prosperity around the world. But the influence of harmful industries is hampering progress. As the 77th United Nations General Assembly comes together to affirm the health and development agenda, a critical component must be curtailing corporate interests.
Join us for a virtual VitalTalks event, with experts discussing how we can combat corporate influence on major health issues.
Speakers share their recommendations on how the U.N., governments and civil society can rise to the challenge of meeting the global goals and work toward a future when everyone, everywhere can attain the highest standard of physical and mental health.
