Portfolio plan Global Development and International Relations

Appendix 2: The Sustainable Development Goals

The thematic priorities of this portfolio are aligned with and well suited to producing research that will contribute to achieving the SDGs. While all SDGs and their corresponding targets are of relevance, the achievement of the SDGs is dependent on close cooperation between this portfolio and others, such as the portfolios for Energy, Transport and Low Emissions, Oceans, Health, Climate and Polar Research, Land-based Food, the Environment and Bioresources, Education and Competence, and Welfare, Culture and Society.

For a comprehensive list of the SDGs and targets, please see THE 17 GOALS | Sustainable Development (un.org)
