2021-11-24 - 2021-11-26 | Virtual, Canada
The 27th annual Canadian Conference for Global Health calls for a shift in partnership paradigms in global health in order to achieve the complex and integrated social, health and environmental goals set out in the SDGs.
While there are many paradigms for partnership, CCGH 2021 will provide a platform to highlight different partnership models at local, national and international levels and understand how they contribute to equitable and sustainable outcomes. Specifically, how have partnerships demonstrated tangible improvements to health and how they have facilitated the spread of social, health and environmental improvements? How do partnerships impact the lives of those that work within them and how do they benefit other organizations or communities outside of the partnership?
Registration is available in two formats:

Towards a More Equal Future – The Role of Gender Equality in Ending Malnutrition by 2030
2021-11-24 07:00 - 08:00 (America/Toronto) | Virtual, Canada
COVID-19 has exposed gaps in nutrition efforts that have always required a shift in gendered power dynamics and decision-making. Put simply, good nutrition cultivates gender equality, and gender equality cultivates good nutrition. We must make gender equality the central catalyst, to sustainably improve nutrition and access to affordable healthy diets for all.
Join host Femi Oke, World Vision, as well as partners Standing Together for Nutrition, Scaling Up Nutrition, Save the Children, CARE, and Nutrition International as we look at how gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls are central parts of building back better. The event will reflect on the key gender wins from the UN Food System Summit and spotlight Member States who have risen to the challenge of prioritizing gender equality within their commitments and action plans.

Global Health Students and Young Professionals Summit
2021-11-27 | Virtual, Canada
The theme of this year’s Global Health Students and Young Professionals Summit (GHSYP) Summit is Ideas to Impact: Toolbox Talks: Practical Skills for Becoming Global Health Professionals.
This year’s GHSYPS aims to prepare attendees for becoming emergent health professionals by introducing applicable skills grounded in equity-centered practices. Some skills that attendees may explore include project implementation, conducting evaluations, community building and knowledge translation. Key learning outcomes for GHSYPS 2021 will revolve around addressing health disparities in three urgent global health topics: planetary health, marginalized communities. Leading experts and outstanding Students and Young Professionals (SYPs) will question the upcoming global health challenges of our time and current Canadian projects in global health. Participants will be challenged to think about how to best leverage their skills, seek out professional development opportunities, and become agents of change in an ever diversifying and multidisciplinary global health sphere. The GHSYPs Summit aims to provide a space for SYPs involved or interested in the global health field to connect, network, engage, and be inspired.
The 2021 Global Health Students and Young Professionals Summit will take place online on November 27th, 2021.

The Stephen Lewis Foundation Partners in Pride campaign is a global solidarity movement that mobilizes funds for grassroots LGBTIQ organizations in five central and east African countries.
These organizations build hope and solidarity among LGBTIQ individuals while providing health care, legal services, counselling, and support. They champion human rights; ensure access to inclusive HIV services; and fight for a safer, freer, and more equal future for LGBTIQ communities, often in the face of violent homophobia, legally entrenched discrimination, and political and social persecution.

Canada’s National Conference on The Sustainable Development Goals
2022-03-02 - 2022-03-04 | Virtual, Canada
Together|Ensemble is Canada’s national conference devoted to tracking progress on the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The conference represents an all-of-society approach to addressing Canada’s toughest sustainable development challenges, bringing together the private sector, academia, government, and civil society.
The SDGs have created an internationally recognized language and measurement framework for sustainable development but have so far failed to galvanize the action needed to eradicate poverty, protect the planet, and ensure prosperity for all. Together|Ensemble will advance the SDGs in Canada by showcasing work from across the country, identifying opportunities for collective impact, mobilizing good practices and effective research, and building awareness of the SDGs in Canadian communities.
Progress requires unprecedented cross-sectoral collaboration and innovation that touches all aspects of Canadian society. By working together, we can put in place the transformations needed to achieve the ambitious agenda of the SDGs.
Since 2017, Together|Ensemble has been hosted three times in a series of symposia and conferences of Canada’s diverse and growing all-of-society community dedicated to achieving the SDGs. Learn more about Together|Ensemble’s history.

Peace: Beyond the absence of war
2022-05-17 17:00 - 2022-05-19 17:00 (America/Toronto) | Hotel Bonaventure Montréal, Hotel Bonaventure Montréal, Montreal, QC, H5A 1E4
Spur Change, in partnership with l’Association québécoise des organismes de coopération internationale (AQOCI), is inviting small and medium organizations (SMOs), educators and youth from coast-to-coast-to-coast to its Annual National Conference “Peace: Beyond the absence of war” which will take place from May 17 to 19, 2022 at the Bonaventure Hotel, in downtown Montreal.
Peace is more than the absence of war or armed conflict. To build sustainable peace, should we not also urgently take into consideration social and environmental justice, food safety and sovereignty, freedom of movement, respect for human rights and decolonization? Moreover, we cannot ignore that the pandemic has significantly intensified inequalities threatening peace around the world.
Through discussion panels, training, peer sharing workshops and artistic content, we will delve deeper into the notion of peace and explore ways in which a culture of peace can be nourished within international solidarity, small and medium organizations and global citizenship education. We will also focus on the importance of gender equality and intersectional analysis to help develop inclusive, sustainable and efficient solutions to address structural and systemic barriers to peace. We will explore how these structural causes intersect with other dynamics of repression and violence and systemic issues.
During this 3-day conference, over a hundred small and medium-sized organizations, teachers and youth will join together to consider these questions, explore solutions and share possible courses of action to build a peaceful world.
The deadline to submit an application is January 28, 2022: Eventbrite.ca

The What Works Summit “Truth + Trust” is a global gathering of decision-makers and leaders to advance social progress.
Rather than bringing us together to defeat a common enemy, Covid-19 has only pushed us further apart and deepened divisions.

Without trust in institutions, in people, and in information, creating a brighter future and advancing social progress is all but impossible.

Nature-Based Solutions, Climate Resilience, and the SDGs
2022-06-23 09:00 - 10:30 (America/Toronto)
From mangrove forests in coastal villages to green roofs on city skyscrapers, nature-based solutions are one of the most powerful – and most underutilized – approaches to mitigate and adapt to climate change. By protecting, restoring, and sustainably managing ecosystems, nature-based solutions offer the potential to reduce climate related risks and address the biodiversity crisis, while delivering social and economic benefits to those living within these ecosystems.
On June 23, Aga Khan Foundation Canada is pleased to host Nature-based Solutions, Climate Resilience, and the SDGs, welcoming a panel of experienced practitioners who aim to reduce climate risks, advance climate resilience, and support the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Panelists will discuss the imperative of using nature-based solutions to address climate change and biodiversity loss and share examples of ongoing initiatives and available resources that organizations can draw on to strengthen their own work in this area.
In addition to the panel discussion, participants will be invited to participate in breakout groups led by the speakers. These breakout groups will provide the opportunity to discuss the policy considerations, opportunities, and challenges of using nature-based solutions in development projects aimed at mitigating and adapting to climate change.
