SDGs: A Blueprint for the Future

Professor Monica Lakhanpaul and Professor Priti Parikh are joined by Professor Ruth Morgan, from UCL Security & Crime Science, and Professor Andrea Rigon, from the UCL Bartlett Development Planning Unit. The Sustainable Development Goals were adopted in 2015, to provide a set of global targets for the world to achieve by 2030. As we’re now only seven years away from that milestone of 2030, we’re considering what progress has been made, and what might come next. As this is such an interesting topic and there is a lot for us to discuss, we have decided to tackle it over two episodes. This is part 1.
