Join us to hear more about why "health is everyone’s business" and how to make SDG 3 — to ensure healthy lives and promote health and well-being for all at all ages — a corporate goal. Hear examples of how different sectors can take action in the workplace, market place, in the community and in the global supply chain to contribute to a healthy, resilient future. Interactive activities will include trying out new technologies for health, such as a virtual circus experience developed by Austrian Herzkinder for children with heart defects as well as an app that can check the level of air pollution in your city.

Pathways to Low-Carbon and Resilient Development booth will inform and engage participants to take stock of global business commitments, build a heatmap on NDC and SDG progress, and identify breakthroughs needed to reach the well below 2-degree Celsius pathway.

The Blueprint for Business Leadership on the SDGs booth will facilitate understanding of and engagement with the Blueprint. At its heart, the Blueprint is a challenging, thought-provoking framework that asks users to think critically and holistically about what SDG leadership looks like for their business. This experience booth offers an opportunity to move the Blueprint from concept to practice and inspire participants to apply the Blueprint to their own SDG actions. High tables, positioned around the booth, will each represent one of the five leadership qualities of the Blueprint. Upon entering the Booth, participants will select a priority SDG and then work through a series of facilitated conversations at the tables to think critically about how they can raise their level of ambition and scale impact. As participants leave they will be asked to share a leading action that they will implement to advance the SDGs.

The Water Security through Stewardship booth will provide an exciting opportunity for participants to learn about and engage in constructive solutions to solving today's water challenges.
