23rd Annual Conference of the German Council for Sustainable Development

What holds our socie­ty tog­e­ther in tur­bu­lent times? How can cli­ma­te pro­tec­tion be made soci­al­ly just? What roles do edu­ca­ti­on and employ­ment play? And why is the pro­tec­tion of bio­di­ver­si­ty also a social issue? The Ger­man Coun­cil for Sus­tainable Deve­lo­p­ment addres­sed the­se and other ques­ti­ons at its 23rd annu­al con­fe­rence, which was held under the mot­to “Sus­taina­bi­li­ty in the stress test – how do we ensu­re social cohe­si­on?”. It took place all day on Octo­ber 8, 2024 at AXICA.

In addi­ti­on to num­e­rous Coun­cil mem­bers and other exci­ting guests, the spea­k­ers included Fede­ral Chan­cell­or Olaf Scholz.
Our rooms offe­red space for a wide ran­ge of exch­an­ges. After the key­note spee­ches in the lar­ge forum under the glass dome, lively dis­cus­sions on the ques­ti­ons posed con­tin­ued in the Sky Lob­by, the audi­to­ri­um, the ple­num and the foy­er. Our fle­xi­ble work­shop fur­ni­tu­re was used in many rooms to sup­port the com­mu­ni­ca­ti­ve dis­cus­sions. The well-plan­ned secu­ri­ty con­cept ensu­red the smooth par­ti­ci­pa­ti­on of the Fede­ral Chan­cell­or and other high-ran­king guests. Our pro­ject mana­gers Nina Ost­hee­ren-Bene­dic­ter and Tetya­na Hess were deligh­ted with how pro­fes­sio­nal­ly all the orga­ni­zers and ser­vice pro­vi­ders work­ed together.

And so ever­yo­ne invol­ved is alre­a­dy loo­king for­ward to the 24th annu­al RNE conference.
