Working together for a sustainable future

In the project UniNEtZ, scientists and artists from 23 partner institutions have joined together to present options on how the UN Sustainable Development Goals may be implemented.

Tip

Parliamentary Cooperation

In order to advance the transformation of our society, the transdisciplinary dialogue with political actors is central. The cooperation on the 2030 Agenda with the Austrian Parliament, which started in September 2022, offers an effective platform to further advance this dialogue.

These SDGs have already been in parliament: SDG 14 – SDG 9 – SDG 16 – SDG 5 – SDG 11 – SDG 13 - SDG 6

Heard already?

Meanwhile, there are numerous podcasts that inform about the SDGs & that deal with the implementation of the SDGs in Austria as well as globally. We have therefore compiled a selection. Enjoy listening!
