As part of the sustainability lecture series "UPB for Future", a lecture by Dr Larissa Eikermann, Dr Annika Hegemann and Dr Susanne Richter will take place on Thursday, 15 May at 4.15 pm in lecture hall L1. The lecture will shed light on how sustainability encompasses social as well as ecological and economic aspects.
In particular, it will show how gender equality must be taken into account as an essential component of achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Examples will be used to show how gender equality not only promotes social justice, but also strengthens ecological and economic resilience. The lecture argues in favour of an integrative understanding of sustainability that sees equality as an indispensable foundation and highlights some institutions that work on this perspective at Paderborn University.
