Innovation Africa @UP conducts research that contributes to 14 of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals

These goals are part of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, a global blueprint adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015 to promote peace and prosperity for people and the planet, both now and in the future. The SDGs represent an urgent call to action for all countries, whether developed or developing, to collaborate in addressing pressing global challenges.

The goals emphasize that eradicating poverty and other forms of deprivation must go hand-in-hand with efforts to improve health and education, reduce inequality, foster economic growth, and combat climate change, all while protecting our oceans and forests.
