4 In September 2018, Global Compact Network Brazil presented in New York, during the 73rd session of the United Nations’ General Assembly, SDGs in Brazil – The Role of the Private Sector. This publication gathers the stories of Brazilian private sector approached in the event. The 19 cases shown here illustrate initiatives of companies aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and were selected by an independent commission that, based on criteria defined by PwC, assessed 80 projects presented. “Global Compact Network Brazil opened a space to the interchange of experiences among representatives of UN agencies, companies that are part of the initiative, and international investors. That kind of action fosters the discussion and represents a stimulus to extend the contribution of domestic private sector to the 2030 Agenda”, said Denise Hills, president of Global Compact Network Brazil.

Launched in 2000 by the late UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan, the UN Global Compact is a call to companies to align their strategies and operations with universal principles on human rights, labor, environment and anti-corruption, and take actions that contribute to face societal challenges.

Global Compact Network Brazil counts on approximately 800 members, including companies and organizations, being the third largest in the world. Its activities and projects in Brazil are performed by its Theme Groups (TG), which nowadays comprise Water, Energy and Climate, Food and Agriculture, Human Rights and Labor, Anti-corruption, and SDGs. In addition, its Engagement and Communication Commission defines the guidelines for the diffusion by its members about the Global Compact and the SDGs. These groups comprise representatives of companies and organizations that are part of Global Compact Network Brazil.

5 WORLD OBSERVATORY OF HUMAN AFFAIRS

The World Observatory of Human Affairs is a platform based in Brazil, France and Germany (soon expanding also to San Francisco, CA) which, among other things, produces documentaries, web series, papers and books on relevant themes, such as social inequality, urban development, education and environmental issues.

Designed as a global-reference platform for debating and divulging ideas, studies and practical actions, The World Observatory of Human Affairs counts on a plural team, which has as its mission to follow up and promote the 17 ODS (Objectives of Sustainable Development) of UN’s 2030 agenda.

We act as an amplifier of ideas and proposals, through the journalistic coverage of major world conferences, interviewing their members and speakers, besides great leaders and opinion makers. With the intent of giving a wider reach to projects and proposals, to inspire and serve as an open, free repository of ideas, analyses and success cases all over the world, we offer 100 percent of the content, freely, to UN’s agencies, TV, radio and web companies.

We also offer an open space for researchers to publish scientific and academic papers, in order to promote the progress of science, the amplification of knowledge in behalf of humanity, and the creation of local and global social and environmental projects.

44 WORLD CHALLENGES

STUDY SHOWS WEIGHT OF ENVIRONMENTAL RISKS

45 The Global Risks Report, a joint effort of the World Economic Forum and its strategic partners, such as the Zurich Insurance Group, is based on the mapping of risks obtained by the Global Risks Perception Survey (GRPS), which was held with 900 participants at the Forum. The 30 global risks pointed out in terms of higher likelihood and impact are divided into five categories (economic; environmental; geopolitical; societal; and technological risks).

In 2018, the risks in terms of higher As for impact, the main risks likelihood were classified in the detected were: following order: 1) massive-destruction weapons; 1) extreme weather events; 2) extreme weather events; 2) natural disasters; 3) natural disasters; 3) cyberattacks; 4) failure of climate-change 4) massive data fraud or theft; and adaptation and mitigation; and 5) failure of climate-change adaptation 5) water crises. and mitigation.

Such perception reveals that changes in sea levels, the most frequently occurring natural disaster, and significant changes in temperature in several regions are seen as responsible for bringing major social and economic challenges to the planet in 2018 and in the next years. It is worth noting that, between 2008 and 2013, the economic risks have been the main concern of the people who participated in the survey, in terms of likelihood and impact.

A high level of professionalization and skill is required to deal with risks in the critical and strategic interconnected systems that move the world. As the scenario becomes more complex, the Global Risks Report 2018 elaborates a study of potential shocks that could affect the planet. These aspects demand reflection and action that, jointly with the 17 Sustainable Development Goals, can turn into clear effective actions in the world’s socio-environmental change agenda
