Reflecting on 2024: A Year of Sustainable Impact

The SDSN extends its heartfelt gratitude for your support and dedication in 2024. Despite mounting geopolitical tensions, a worsening climate crisis, and widening inequalities, we have continued to work together to develop and catalyze solutions to the world’s most critical challenges.

Our Work

As the world's largest knowledge network for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN) works under the auspices of the UN Secretary-General to mobilize the the world's universities, think tanks, and national laboratories to identify and develop global and local solutions for action on the world's most critical sustainable development challenges. We operate at the intersection between science, policy, and development practice to promote the SDGs and the Paris Agreement through education, research, policy analysis, and global cooperation.
