CSIRO NEW MAJOR PARTNER 
UN AND AUSTRALIA SUSTAINABLE PARTNERSHIPS FORUM


                  

CSIRO will co-lead workshops focused on developing partnerships to progress SDG 3 - Good Health and Wellbeing and SDG 12 - Responsible Consumption and Production. CSIRO will also sponsor five young leaders to attend the Forum and take part in the SDGs Showcase on Day 2.

CSIRO is ideally placed to partner with the UNAA for the Forum as an organisation with a long history of working with governments, universities and the corporate and community sectors to deliver programs and innovation in areas such as food security and quality; health and wellbeing; environment and future industries.
 
'Our involvement in the UN & Australia Sustainable Partnerships Forum is focused squarely around tackling complex, wicked problems such as food security and improving health and wellbeing.' - Dr Michiel Van Lookeren Campagne, CSIRO Director of Agriculture and Food.
