The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development constitutes a paradigm shift. It requires understanding and articulating a narrative around the meaning and value of sustainable development, how the Sustainable Development Goals interrelate across various sectors, and what it will take to achieve them.
The SDG Primer resulted from a collaborative effort undertaken under the United Nations Sustainable Development Group that assembled the most relevant thinking and insights around key global and national SDG-related challenges. It has been developed with the support of UNSSC, UNITAR, SDSN, and UNDCO.
The SDG Primer lays out the:
- Urgency of action required by all actors in all countries;
- Foundational characteristics of this universal and integrated framework;
- Specific actions we can all take to better support countries and governments.
It should take approximately 3 hours to complete the SDG Primer.
The course is available in two languages: English and Arabic.
