Organising for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
The world is facing unprecedented and pressing social and environmental challenges.
The United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals have been developed to tackle these issues and are a call for action to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure that all people enjoy peace and action towards sustainability.
Achieving these goals requires rethinking our society’s action everywhere, from governments to businesses.
On this course, you’ll explore the what, why and how of the 17 SDGs and understand what key global challenges remain as we work towards a sustainable and inclusive world.
What topics will you cover?
- The SDGs and social development

- Changing societies
- Actors organising for the SDGs
- Interpreting and implementing the SDGs in different contexts
Who is the course for?

This course will be of particular use to students interested in the key concepts and practices of sustainability, and private-sector workers, policymakers, and civil society workers who want to implement the Sustainable Development Goals at work.
