Vision

A society in which all people have what they need, and which provides for future generations to have the same.

Mission

SDSN USA builds pathways towards the achievement of the UN Sustainable Development Goals in the United States by mobilizing research, outreach, collective action, and global cooperation. To accomplish this, we:

  • Facilitate and lead coalitions to address U.S. sustainability challenges;

  • Build sophisticated, practical systems for assessing progress;

  • Facilitate public awareness, education, and engagement; and

  • Link these efforts with policymakers and community leaders throughout the U.S. to result in lasting change.

“The advances that we can make if we put our knowledge to work are profound and thrilling, so universities must help to lead the way to sustainable development. Universities contain a world of knowledge that we can use for human well-being and that is the purpose of the Sustainable Development Solutions Network.”
— Jeffrey Sachs, SDSN USA Co-Chair and Director of the SDSN
