How is engineering addressing SDG 17?
Dr Kate Roll is Head of Teaching and Assistant Professor in Innovation, Development and Value at the UCL Institute for Innovation and Public Purpose as well as the Faculty Lead for Public Policy.
The National Engineering Policy Centre, led by the Royal Academy of Engineering, connects policymakers with critical engineering expertise to inform and respond to policy issues of national importance. The Centre gives policymakers a route to advice from across the whole profession, and the profession a unified voice on shared challenges.
What is SDG 17?
The SDGs can only be realized with strong global partnerships and cooperation.
The goals aim to enhance north-south and south-south cooperation by supporting national plans to achieve all the targets. Promoting international trade, and helping developing countries increase their exports is all part of achieving a universal rules-based and equitable trading system that is fair and open and benefits all.
The Royal Academy of Engineering supports the Sustainable Development Goals.
