This article is part of: Sustainable Development Impact Summit

The Sustainable Development Impact summit is the World Economic Forum’s annual meeting for integrating and highlighting the best examples of public-private cooperation, systems thinking and Fourth Industrial Revolution technologies to develop the Sustainable Development Agenda.

Taking place during the United Nations General Assembly, the summit engages the most relevant and influential leaders across business, government, civil society, NGOs and academia to collaborate on and address the world’s most pressing problems.

The event is taking place in New York, USA on 23-24 September.

Here is our guide to how to follow #sdi19 on our digital channels. We encourage you to post, share, and retweet by tagging our accounts and by using our official hashtag.

#Sustainableworld Campaign

We'd like you to upload a 60-90 second video answering one or more of five key questions we have identified that are crucial in our attempt to build a #sustainableworld for all, not just for the few.

We'll be asking participants on the ground at the World Economic Forum's Sustainable Development Impact Summit (#sdi19) to also give us their answers to these questions, and we'll be featuring the best of the responses on weforum.org/sustainableworld, as well as across Instagram, LinkedIn, and Facebook.
