incorporating international targets such as the SDGs and taking stakeholder
concerns into account.

future? How the MSC can stay the course” — featuring representatives from the
different stakeholder groups that that the MSC works with. The panel will be
moderated by Melanie Siggs, Director of Strategic Engagements at the Global
