Its 17 ambitious Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are aimed at ensuring that decisions by governments contribute to a more sustainable, inclusive and equal future for all by 2030.
SDG Watch Europe is being formally launched on 13 October at 18.00–20.30 at the North Rhine-Westphalia Representation Rue Montoyer 47, Brussels 1000. WECF Director Sascha Gabizon will speak at the launch on the work of the Women's Major Group and the Women 2030 program.
