ABOUT THE SUMMIT

The Sustainable Development Movement Summit creates an exciting space, where Senior Government Officials, Industry and Sector Leaders, Global Entrepreneurs and Civil Society converge over two days.

Come to network, experience real transformation and chime in on the exchange of thoughts, best practices, untold stories and strategies concerning sustainable growth and development within the Caribbean.

Watch: Remarks from the Prime Minister of Saint Lucia

SDM2020 is designed at the helm of two distinct schools of thought:

• Without the engagement of minds, sustainable growth and development becomes unattainable. With this realisation, SDM2020 will renew the psyche for the common man; taking each person from the realm of limitations to the realm of possibilities.

• To obtain development that is sustained, the engagement of the private sector and the business community is paramount.

It is with this awareness, that SDM2020 will attract and drive change among over 3000 delegates from across the region and internationally. And with a highly engaging integrated digital and electronic media campaign, the ‘MOVEMENT’ – leading up to the summit and beyond- is expected to connect with over 30 million persons worldwide.

SDM2020 is being produced in support of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGS) and will drive progressive movement towards achieving 12 of the 17 SDGs, shown below.
