Dave Rice, as President of the Orange County UNA, has introduced California to the United Nations 2030 Agenda for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG’s). The program, called Local 2030, includes the Greater Orange County. His enthusiasm has attracted businesses, NGO’s and elected officials to understand our world’s future depends on us working together for these goals. During our podcast, Dave shares how the success of the United Nations’ 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development hinges on effective collaboration between all relevant actors. Knowledge, resources, skills, and partnerships need to be mobilized on an unprecedented scale to implement all of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Local2030: Localizing the SDGs is a convergence point between local and regional governments and their associations, national governments, businesses, community-based organizations and other local actors, and the United Nations system. Local2030 supports local leaders in collaboratively incubating and sharing solutions, unlocking bottlenecks, and implementing strategies that advance the SDGs at the local level. Our UNASB.org invited Dave to share his excellent powerpoint presentation and you too may wish to invite Dave as a speaker. www.UNA-oc.org.
