The European Sustainable Development Week is an initiative whose objective is to encourage and publicize activities promoting sustainable development and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) throughout Europe. It takes place every year from May 30 to June 5.
Due to the health crisis linked to COVID-19, the SEDD 2020 wished to take into account the possible postponements of the activities scheduled during the initial period of the SEDD, following the various health instructions applied. Thus, to give the organizers the possibility of planning their events on a new date, it was decided to postpone the SEDD from September 18 to October 8, with a heart week from September 20 to 26. The SEDD recognizes the importance of sustainable development, particularly during these times of crisis, and stresses the need not to lose sight of these objectives of transitioning to a more sustainable mode of development.
For example, on occasion, the large Italie Deux shopping center in the 13th arrondissement of Paris offers activities from September 23 to 26:
