Sustainable Development Goals

Across Galloway and Southern Ayrshire the GSA Biosphere Partnership is guiding and supporting communities, businesses, schools and organisations in striving to meet the United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals. The SDGs are a global call to action to end poverty and hunger, protect the planet, and bring peace and prosperity to everyone.  They recognise urgency, necessity, and the value of learning and collaboration. By showing the ‘Biosphere in action’ through our partnerships and programme of delivery we are demonstrating how SDGs can be achieved, and the knowledge that can be gained along the way.

The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are targets for global development that were adopted by all member countries in 2015, with targets to be achieved by 2030. Our World in Data tracks progress globally through the SDG Tracker, which you can explore via the button below. The SDG Tracker is visual and interactive, explaining targets and indicators, and allowing users to measure progress over time in individual countries including the UK.
