Description:
Many Emersonians work in or near government agencies, from local to international, but we don’t always get to hear from them. In this panel we’ll hear alumni talk about their broad experiences working with government on issues of sustainability, from the private sector to education to city and state government.

Sustainable Development Goal 16: Promote peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development, provide access to justice for all and build effective, accountable and inclusive institutions at all levels
Emerson Alumni have worked on some amazing and interesting sustainability projects in their careers!
The United Nations explains the purpose of this goal is "promoting peaceful and inclusive societies, providing access to justice for all and building effective, accountable and inclusive institutions at all levels. People everywhere should be free of fear from all forms of violence and feel safe as they go about their lives whatever their ethnicity, faith or sexual orientation. High levels of armed violence and insecurity have a destructive impact on a country’s development. Sexual violence, crime, exploitation and torture are prevalent where there is conflict or no rule of law. Governments, civil society and communities need to work together to find lasting solutions to conflict and insecurity. Strengthening the rule of law and promoting human rights is key to this process, as is reducing the flow of illicit arms, combating corruption, and ensuring inclusive participation at all times."
