Happy Dog Takes on the World

On September 25, all 193 counties in the UN ratified the Sustainable Development Goals that focus on "eliminating poverty and hunger, reducing inequality, addressing climate change, creating sustainable cities and communities, and encouraging responsible consumption - all by 2030." But are these goals realistic? The Cleveland Council on World Affairs, IPM, and the Northeast Ohio Consortium for Middle Eastern Studies (NOCMES) will debate the topic tonight at the Happy Dog's regular series, the Happy Dog Takes on the World. Panelists include Ben Fitch-Fleischmann, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Economics & Environmental Studies, Oberlin College; Amanda McCoy, Principal, Eclatant Consulting; and Milena Sterio, J.D., The Charles R. Emrick Jr. - Calfee Halter & Griswold Professor of Law at Cleveland-Marshall College of Law. WCPN host/producer Tony Ganzer moderates. It starts at 7:30 p.m. Admission is free. (Niesel)
