The Swiss Sustainability Development Solutions Network: From knowledge to action for the 2030 Agenda
SDSN Switzerland mobilizes representatives from academia, business and civil society to implement the 17 Sustainable Development Goals of the UN 2030 Agenda in Switzerland and beyond. We bring together decision-makers and stakeholders from all sectors to develop and disseminate strategically effective solutions for a sustainable future.
SDSN Switzerland is part of the UN SDSN, a global initiative of the United Nations.
“Our future is at stake. Switzerland and the world have jointly committed to the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The implementation of these goals will play a major role in the paradigm change that is necessary to preserve life on Earth. We must act now.”
