In 2015, the UN’s 2030 Agenda introduced 17 interconnected Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), representing a global vision for sustainable development. It is crucial to recognize their interplay, leveraging synergies while mitigating potential setbacks to achieve the desired outcomes.
SEI aids in these efforts by offering scientific support, devising innovative methods and promoting systems thinking on the SDGs. Furthermore, we aim to catalyze the achievement of the SDGs by facilitating knowledge sharing, organizing relevant events and developing innovative tools. Read more on SEI’s work with the SDGs below.
