ACHIEVING THE SDGS: INNOVATIONS FOR PEOPLE AND PLANET
Since they were adopted in 2015, the UN SDGs have done brilliantly in encouraging many people to talk and think about sustainability. But for all this talking and thinking, it’s often harder to find information on the practical, actionable steps and solutions required to achieve the goals.
At Springwise, we know that innovation and the world’s innovators are vital for driving positive, sustainable change. Therefore, in conjunction with our partner edie, we have put together this report, which provides a much-needed overview of the current innovations and potential technological breakthroughs that could accelerate progress towards each of the 17 SDGs.
