CONVERGENCES, A PLATFORM FOR THOUGHT
Launched in 2008, Convergences is the first platform for thought in Europe that aims at building new convergences between public, private, and solidarity-based actors to promote the Sustainable Development Goals and the development of a world “Zero Exclusion, Zero Carbon, Zero Poverty.”
Convergences seeks to engage with various stakeholders in order to disseminate good practices and to promote co-construction approaches with the aim of creating high impact and innovative partnerships.
Our scope of interest is wide ranging: sustainable development, international development, solidarity-based and inclusive finance, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), social entrepreneurship, social and solidarity economy, and new technologies for change.

OUR AMBITION
We believe that a global and aligned mobilization of actors – citizens, local authorities, companies, public authorities, civil society, producers, consumers, the media, and researchers – is requisite to reduce poverty, combat exclusion and climate change. Each and everyone can contribute, individually and collectively, to build a world without exclusion, without carbon and without poverty.
