Welcome to Wileys UN Sustainable Development Goals Program
September 19, 2024
At Wiley, we believe in the transformative power of knowledge. Today, we're thrilled to introduce you to our new UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) website – a platform that embodies our commitment to leveraging research and learning for global change.
Why SDGs Matter
The United Nations' 17 Sustainable Development Goals represent a shared blueprint for peace and prosperity, for people and the planet. The goals address key global challenges including poverty, inequality, climate change, and ensuring good health and well-being and peace and justice for all. In this ‘Decade of Action’ running up to 2030 as the deadline for achieving the goals, now is the time to accelerate research and the translation of research findings into practical applications, solutions and positive change.
As a leader in research and educational publishing with portfolios spanning the physical, life and health sciences and the social sciences and humanities, we have a significant role to play in contributing to these goals. The research we publish can inform policies, inspire innovations, and drive real-world solutions to these pressing global issues. Our books and reference works increase the understanding of sustainability issues and prepare new generations of researchers, students, and professionals to find solutions. Wiley is also playing our part as an organization by committing to being carbon net-zero by 2040, verified by the Science Based Targets initiative, and embedding Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) and Inclusion into who we are as an organization.

Our new SDGs website recognizes the importance and interdisciplinary nature of all 17 SDGs. It's a dynamic hub where cutting-edge research meets real-world impact. Here's what you can expect:

Looking Ahead
As we move forward, we'll be expanding the platform with new articles, special issues, books and opportunities for collaboration. We're excited about the potential of this initiative to enable information sharing between researchers, policymakers, and practitioners all working towards these shared global goals.
The challenges addressed by the SDGs are complex and interconnected and solving them starts with knowledge. We believe that by amplifying SDG-relevant research we can increase its impact, and by providing trusted sustainability books and reference works we can engage and inspire new generations of problem solvers and contribute to a more sustainable and equitable world.
