In this ASIANET: seminar, Dan Banik will discuss China’s and India’s attempts to combine the global goal of sustainable development with their own national interests. Given their sheer size and growing influence in world affairs, the actions of these Asian giants will have important consequences for overall global progress in meeting the SDGs, and offer useful lessons for others to emulate. But is it all win-win?


Lunch will be served! The event is free and open to all but requires registration by Wednesday Jan. 8th:
