The Conservative party in the UK has won their biggest victory since 1987 this week, giving the blessing for Boris Johnson to pursue Brexit by the end of January 2020. Back in September, we spoke of what Brexit could mean for the UK and sustainable development. With the possibility of a hard Brexit now in the mix, we're republishing this episode to give greater food for thought for the British government.
Episode 38: Brexit and Sustainable Development
Brexit has been looming over the British conscience since the 2016 referendum. With many things unclear about what will happen in the supposed 31 October deadline to leave the European Union, equally uncertain is the status of the future of sustainable development in the UK. With British NGOs uncertain of their place with DFID and an unclear British strategy towards achieving the SDGs, we look at what is going on in the UK concerning sustainable development around Brexit and what could the future bring.
