JOINProtecting Progress: The Case for Staying Committed to Sustainability in 2025
The framework of the United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) has, over the past decade, generated a tremendous amount of global cooperation, innovation, and support to drive transformative change within our communities. This might be attributed to the global nature of the challenges, as the SDG framework sets out to address universal issues from climate change and renewable energy to protecting our oceans and ensuring good health and well-being in our communities. While the publishing industry has been very supportive of the SDG agenda (with the launch of the SDG Publishers Compact and IPA SDG Dashboard), it can be hard to relate the specific SDG targets and measurements to what we, as academic publishers, can truly influence.
