P4G Copenhagen Summit 2018: Accelerating Partnerships

Sustainable Development Goals with Danish and Korean Students

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark and DTU Skylab is looking for young academics to work in groups to solve one of the six selected P4G partnership projects (PP). The student groups are expected to hack the PPs with the intention to bring in new ideas, perspectives and approaches on how the specific partnership project could achieve greater impact on their Global Goals and sub-targets.

What is P4G Summit

Partnering for Green Growth and the Global Goals 2030 (P4G) is a global initiative with the ambition of becoming the world’s leading forum for developing concrete public-private partnerships at scale to deliver on the Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Climate Agreement.

In October 2018, Denmark will gather heads of states and governments, together with leaders of international organizations, businesses, academic institutions and civil society at the first global P4G Summit to form a powerful coalition for sustainable growth through innovative partnerships. P4G offers a platform where commitments and ideas can be realised by connecting the doers in public-private partnerships. The P4G summit will create a place to develop, accelerate, and showcase partnerships of large-scale impact.

Thematically, the Summit in Copenhagen will have an overarching theme of cities as increasingly important centers of economic activity.
