In September 2015, the United Nations unanimously adopted the 2030 Agenda, seventeen Sustainable Development Goals to shape international efforts to promote a sustainable, peaceful and equitable world by 2030. Each Goal is accompanied by a set of more specific targets with indicators to measure progress.

Jean Monnet Sustainable Development Goals Network Seminar Series

The European Union Centre is very pleased to announce a seminar series that will address each of the 17 Goals. Each seminar will focus on one particular Goal, and will offer an opportunity to explore the intent of the Goal, its targets, and some of the initiatives being undertaken to deliver on the targets. The seminar series is supported by the Centre’s Jean Monnet Network on the EU’s Role in the Implementation of the SDGs in Asia Pacific. Each seminar will be accompanied a Briefing Paper. The first, on SDG 1: No Poverty, will be launched at this public seminar.
