SDG Trail

The 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are an urgent call for action by all United Nations member states to work in global partnership to address the most critical issues of modern times. Here in the Galloway and Southern Ayrshire UNESCO Biosphere a wide range of community groups, organisations and enterprise are demonstrating the SDGs in practice every day.

The GSA Biosphere Partnership has created an SDG Trail which you can explore to find out more about the SDGs that local people are working towards. Each location has either an SDG Trail post or plaque, with a QR code that you can scan with a mobile phone to find out more about what’s happening at that site, and the specific global goal with which it connects. Look out for the SDG Trail as you explore the Biosphere, or scroll down to the SDG Trail map below to discover the many inspiring projects currently underway.
