World Social Justice Day: What is Ireland's progress on the Global Goals?
How is Ireland performing on the Global (Sustainable Development) Goals? Social Justice Ireland's invites you to our Global Justice Seminar 2017 on Monday 20th February which will present an Index for Sustainable Communities and a Sustainable Planet.
This index is based on the Global (Sustainable Development) Goals. To register for this event click here.
It will show how Ireland is performing on social, economic and environmental indicators and will compare Ireland with the other members of the European Union.
The UN Global Goals - co-negotiated by Ireland - offer a framework for every country to work towards a more just and equitable society. Social Justice Ireland is marking the UN World Day of Social Justice with this important seminar looking at Ireland's progress to date in meeting our responsibilities under the Global Goals.
