Publishing and the UN Sustainable Development Goals

13^th July 2023

The 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals are a call for action by all countries and a shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet. In this webinar we’ll explore how publishers are working through the SDGs Publishers Compact to inform, develop, and inspire action in advancement of the goals. As a case study, we’ll also share Wiley’s actions around delivering against our climate targets.
