Governance for Climate Change & Sustainable Development

Advancing sustainable development depends on translating the global vision of the SDGs and related agendas into practice, and ensuring their effective implementation. UNU-IAS mobilizes knowledge, expertise and partnerships to strengthen governance and policymaking processes for sustainable development and localize these urgent global agendas. Our research explores interactions between SDGs and with related efforts on decarbonization, the circular economy and digital transformation, among others. UNU-IAS contributes to global policy dialogue on sustainable development and builds capacity at the local, national and regional levels through technical advice and training activities, in close collaboration with partners in the UN system and beyond.
