Podcast Disrupt Development
Why this podcast?
The Sustainable Development Goals provide a global plan of action for addressing the globe’s most pressing challenges. They are the universal call to action for all human beings. However, traditional approaches are too slow to keep up with today’s global’s challenges. We need to reinvent ourselves if we want to keep up. Radical change is required and for it, we need disruptive thinkers and doers. Visionaries from all sectors who dare to challenge the status quo. Disrupt Development is a Podcast platform that shares inspiring stories of disruptive thinkers and doers within Sustainable Development.
