In Utah’s biggest international event since the 2002 Olympics, people from around the world will soon gather in Salt Lake City for the United Nations’ annual Civil Society Conference.
The event takes place in August, but the issues on the agenda – from protecting the environment to making cities sustainable – have been on Salt Lake City’s radar for much longer. In fact, the city is a leader on these issues, showing how local action can help solve global challenges.
With the world facing big, urgent problems, the UN is turning to Salt Lake City, governments and citizens from across the globe to help solve them.
