Alliance Institute (AI) is determined to ensure marginalized communities across the Gulf Coast of the United States are prepared to confront climate impacts. The United Nations held its High Level Political Forum on Sustainable Development from July 10 – July 19 2017. Stephen Bradberry, Executive Director of AI and RFK Human Rights Laureate, was on hand to discuss the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals from the perspective of US Gulf Coast Communities.\"\" He met with representatives from the American Sustainable Business Council and the Global Business Alliance (GBA for 2030), which includes the Global Compact, and is housed at the International Chamber of Commerce to discuss ways in which the Gulf Coast can develop resources and exchange information with locations in similar situations across the globe.<\/p>\n
