sustainability center
President Giammattei also presented to the UN Secretary General the future construction of a world center for sustainability in Guatemala.
In Guatemala, a research and exchange center is about to be built where 193 countries can converge, he pointed.
Also, in this center the UN could certify the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) of the world.
Guatemala would not put a penny, everything is private investment with multinational companies. Here you could have all the social responsibility programs, the president explained.
For his part, the UN Secretary General expressed his gratitude, expressed his support for the Guatemalan president and reported that he had appointed a commission for all the countries of the organization to participate. The goal is for this project to start in 2023 and its construction is expected to last around two years.
