Experts Directory: Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are at the core of UN's 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, which was adopted in September 2015 by all UN Member States as a new plan of action. The OSU School of Global Studies and Partnerships provides more information about the ways that the OSU community is contributing to these goals. To learn more about the goals and find resources and research, please see this guide created by the OSU Libraries.

Experts Directory allows researchers to indicate that their work is contributing towards achieving specific goals.

Labels

Labels are useful for recording the relationship of a researcher profile, scholarly work, professional activity, grant, or course to a UN Sustainable Development Goals.

How to Add SDG Labels to Your Profile

Please see these instructions for adding SDG Labels to your profile. This will allow users of the Experts public profile site to see you when they filter by SDGs using the facet on the left side of the page. The labels will also be displayed on your About page on your profile.
