The 2030 Agenda is a rare and ambitious political achievement. However, it offers few solutions to work with complex realities on the ground and the linkages that exist between SDGs.
Our SOLUTIONS 2030 address these shortcomings by:
supporting ways of working grounded in systems thinking.
designing interventions that focus on leverage points.
facilitating multi-stakeholders' alignment and collaboration.
identifying synergies and trade-offs across five SDGs.
