The world is halfway through the action plan for sustainable development as outlined in Agenda 2030. What progress has been made and how does this affect us, both as a university and individually in our respective roles? Get a perspective on where we stand, globally and nationally, join us in taking stock on how SLU has contributed so far and discuss how we can contribute going forward. Register for “Agenda 2030: SLU Sustainability Day” on 14 November!
Agenda 2030 was adopted by the countries of the world in 2015 and the UN has recently conducted a mid-term review of its implementation. It points to the need to speed up the transition process. There is therefore reason to take a closer look at SLU's contribution to the 2030 Agenda, and how we can improve it.
"It is urgent to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. Therefore, it is important that we take stock and reflect on how SLU has contributed, learn from successful examples and discuss how we can continue our work. I hope that this day will provide a good starting point for the future", says Ylva Hillbur, Pro Vice-Chancellor, who is responsible for issues related to Agenda 2030 at SLU.
