SAFER a member in SDSN for UN Sustainable goals

Jul, 08 2016

The Executive Committee of the Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN) has approved SAFER for membership in the Solutions Network. SDSN supports the implementation of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) adopted by world leaders in September 2015.

 

The 17 goals address the challenges of economic development, social inclusion, environmental sustainability, and good governance. Traffic safety is a global challenge and SAFER's research contributes to decrease the number of fatalities and injuries.

SAFER will work together with SDSN in support of sustainable development. In the coming months, we will find further means of collaboration on research, Solutions Initiatives, and policy work. Much of this work will be facilitated by the National & Regional SDSNs. The Centre for Environment and Sustainability, GMV, in Gothenburg hosts the SDSN Northern Europe secretariate.
