Looking forward to returning to the American College of Greece in Athens for the 2024 EBEN Conference! I am excited to discuss the challenges in implementing Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), with a particular focus on multi-stakeholder engagement for SDG implementation in a European metropole. Our analysis reveals the pitfalls of viewing businesses as strategic actors solely as key stakeholders of sustainability. One significant shortcoming is the notion that sustainability initiatives can manage stakeholders in the same way businesses do; sustainability, by its nature, cannot manage stakeholders. Additionally, the strategic orientation of potential partners in such multi-interest groups poses a challenge, as they may not necessarily prioritize normative goals over their strategic objectives.

At the 10th European Conference on Sustainable Cities & Towns, Aalborg (Denmark) shared a powerful model for how city-business partnerships can foster social responsibility and innovation. 🌍💡 Through Local Green Deals, the city is providing businesses with the tools they need to contribute to the green transition, from knowledge-sharing to funding opportunities. These collaborations aren't just about climate action: they’re about creating meaningful change across value chains, driving social impact, and inspiring all businesses, big or small, to innovate for a better future.

Relocating internationally three times has profoundly shaped my view on sustainability, with each move sparking new insights and deeper commitments. The second move, to Sweden, was pivotal. In Sweden, a society known for its commitment to environmental responsibility, I witnessed firsthand the impact of sustainable practices on a national scale—from eco-friendly urban design to the cultural norm of recycling and green energy. It was a ‘lightbulb moment’ that redefined my understanding of individual responsibility within a collective framework. The third move, to Malta, presented a contrast. Malta, with its unique challenges as a small island nation, underscored the urgency of climate resilience and the need for sustainable resource management. Observing the effects of climate change on such a delicate ecosystem reinforced my commitment to sustainability, both in my professional life and personal choices. Each experience has left a lasting impression, driving me to advocate for sustainable practices in every environment I inhabit.
