SDSN Philippines organized a three-part “Different Actors in the Sustainable Food Systems and the Future” webinar series and a five-part “Policy & Governance of Food Systems” webinar series which featured 27 resource speakers and 16 reactors under its SDG 2 Zero Hunger Project. The SDG 2 events garnered an overall rating of 92-99% in the post-event evaluations with participants claiming to have deepened their understanding on the discussions on food systems.

In 2022, SDSN Philippines hosted the "Crossroad to 2030: Reviewing and Recalibrating the SDGs Roadmap of the Philippines," which featured the 2022 Sustainable Development Report presentation by SDSN’s Vice President Guillaume Lafortune and the Philippine government’s response through NEDA Undersecretary Rosemarie Edillon.

Both of SDSN Philippine’s solutions were selected to participate in the inaugural Asia-Pacific Solutions Forum hosted by SDSN in Sunway City, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

Oracion from the Ateneo Center for Education Development and “Advancing Client-centered Care and Expanding Sustainable Services for TB” presented by Mr. Elvin Ivan Y. Uy of the Philippine Business for Social Progress, Inc.
