Details about the topic:

17 SDG‘s / 2030 Agenda / United Nations
sdgs.un.org/goals
The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development was adopted at the 2015 UN summit in New York. This includes 17 Sustainable Development Goals, which strive for ecological, social and economic sustainability worldwide. All member states of the United Nations have committed to promoting the implementation of the SDGs at national, regional and international level by 2030.

Options Report / UniNEtZ
www.uninetz.at/optionenbericht
On this basis, the UniNEtZ was founded in Austria, a university network to which the Angewandte also belongs. Over a period of 3 years cooperative and cross-university teams developed concrete options for Austria in order to achieve the SDGs. In March 2022, the Options Report was handed over to the Austrian federal government. The options for action proposed in it show future-oriented solutions that serve to provide concrete orientation for politics. The role of the media will also be essential in order to include all social groups in the necessary discourse.

* “It‘s possible, it‘s possible”
is a quote from the documentary thriller Guardians of the Earth, that provides exclusive behind-the-scenes insights into the nerve-wracking negotiations at the UN climate summit in Paris in 2015.
