SDG Knowledge Hub

The SDG Knowledge Hub is an online resource center for news and commentary regarding the implementation of the United Nations’ 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, including all 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

The SDG Knowledge Hub is managed by the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD), which is fully responsible for its content. Our team of experts regularly updates the SDG Knowledge Hub and produces the SDG Update, which contains the latest news, original commentary from our experts, guest articles from key actors in SDG implementation, and more. The SDG Knowledge Hub also provides a calendar of upcoming events related to the 2030 Agenda.

IISD gratefully acknowledges the ongoing support of the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation for the SDG Knowledge Hub.

Launched in September 2016, the site brings together the content of our former Policy & Practice knowledge-bases focused on: Chemicals and Wastes; Climate Change; Natural Resources; small island developing States (SIDS); Sustainable Development; Sustainable Energy; and our three regionally focused sites on Africa, Asia and Latin America and the Caribbean.

Previous funding support for the Policy & Practice knowledge-bases – which provided the archived news that is now accessible through the SDG Knowledge Hub – was provided by:

• Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (Climate Change Policy & Practice, Sustainable Development Policy & Practice, Natural Resources Policy & Practice, and Chemicals and Wastes Policy & Practice)
• International Development Research Centre (IDRC) (Sustainable Development Policy & Practice, as well as sustainable development news in Africa, Asia and the Pacific, and Latin America and the Caribbean)
