SDG 17 Partnerships for the Goals

SDG 17 partnerships for the goals

Goal 17 focuses on reinvigorating the worldwide collaboration for sustainable development. The 2030 Agenda is all-encompassing, urging action from both developed and developing nations to leave no one behind. It necessitates partnerships among governments, the private sector, and civil society. The Sustainable Development Goals can only be achieved with a resolute commitment to global cooperation, ensuring that everyone progresses on the path of development.

Griffith University is aligned with the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and committed to tackling global challenges around SDG 17 partnerships for the goals. Below are some of our outputs supporting this goal.
