Ignite Talk

Each library has its own special role to play in the global journey towards the implementation of Agenda 2030 and its 17 sustainable development goals.

The United Nations Library in Geneva was among the early adopters of Agenda 2030 and chose to make use of the SDGs as a guiding principle since 2016.

This presentation highlights the Agenda 2030’s inner structure and innovative features, while also providing insights into our experience as a library in keeping the focus on Agenda 2030 while leading our constituency.
