Opportunity description
the World Bank and the Zicklin Center for Business Ethics Research at the Wharton School invites proposals from students and young professionals from around the world to design ideas for financing and implementing the Sustainable Development Goals. The SDGs are an ambitious and transformative set of goals, covering a broad range of interconnected issues, from sustainable economic growth, to social issues, to global public goods.
The Ideas for Action competition engages young people from around the world to encourage them to develop and share their ideas for financing solutions and deliver the SDGs through a global conversation among young people. Conversations happen virtually, over social media networks, and in person.
Winners of the competition present their ideas during the IMF & World Bank Annual Meetings, receive support from a dedicated startup accelerator at the Wharton School.
