The 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), represented by the icons above, lie at the heart of the United Nations’ (UN’s) Agenda for Sustainable Development. They were adopted by all UN member states in 2015, creating a blueprint for a global partnership to provide peace and prosperity for all. They recognise that ending poverty and other deprivations must go hand in hand with strategies that improve health and education, reduce inequality and spur economic growth – all while tackling climate change and preserving our oceans and forests. WBS is committed to embedding the SDGs in its research, teaching and day-to-day operations. This includes striving to improve equality, diversity, and inclusion for under- represented and under-privileged groups. Alongside each article in Core , you will see one or more of the 17 SDG icons to show with which goals the associated research is aligned. We all have a role to play in building the better world we want to see.
