SDSN AusNZPac has joined with Fairtrade Australia and New Zealand and the Global Compact Network Australia to outline a plan for regional and global recovery from the COVID-19 crisis aimed at reducing inequalities and building a more resilient economic future.

The video from our 30 July webinar on how leading universities in our region are using the SDGs as a tool for institutional engagement and change is now available!

The 2020 edition of this global report from SDSN and the Bertelsmann Stiftung, compares countries' performance on the 17 SDGs and responses to Covid-19. Australia ranks well on Covid-response, but poorly on many other SDGs.

We are excited to invite SDSN AusNZPac members to join us to showcase how you are using the SDGs as a tool for action. Submissions are open until 26 June.
