In 2015 the UN has established a master plan for sustainable development with the "Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)".
All 193 member states of the United Nations undertake to work towards implementing Agenda 2030 with its 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) at national, regional and international level by 2030.
The implementation of the goals will enable dynamic economic development within ecological boundaries. Implementation will drastically reduce the causes of global poverty and ensure decent living conditions throughout the world.
The SDGs represent an urgent need for action for all countries - developed and developing - in a global partnership. They recognise that ending poverty and other inequalities must go hand in hand with strategies to improve health and education, reduce inequality and boost economic growth - all while combating climate change and preserving our oceans and forests.
Austria has also committed itself to implement the SDGs by 2030. But the new development agenda is ambitious and little known among the population.
The aim of this course is to deal with the individual SDGs and to discuss the possibilities for their implementation in individual areas.
This semester the course will be held in combination with the course 280.A15 Master Project Spatial Planning Cultural Collisions.
