Leveraging academic-NGO partnerships to support the SDGs<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At the halfway point to 2030, how are organisations across Scotland progressing SDGs 13 and 15, and how can iNGOs and academia work more closely together to advance the broader SDG agenda? This was the focus of SIDA\u2019s \u2018Stepping up to the SDGs\u2019 roadshow event at the University of Stirling. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
SIDA Chief Executive Frances Guy opened the event by outlining how the world is making progress towards SDGs 13 and 15. The world is on the brink of a climate catastrophe and current actions and plans to address the crisis are insufficient. The world is facing a triple planetary crisis of climate change, pollution and biodiversity loss. The trend in forest loss, land degradation and the extinction of species is becoming worse, posing a severe threat to the health of the planet and people. Without a dramatic shift in our relationship with our natural environment and\u00a0transformative action within this decade to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in all sectors, SDGs 13 and 15 will not be met.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
