International Cooperation & SDGs

For the Sustainable Development Goals to be achieved within the stipulated time-frame, it is essential that the targets within the main goals are executed at both local and national levels. Mainstreaming the SDGs into local/national development planning policies can ensure that the SDGs are progressed on simultaneously with the existing national targets. In this scenario, new and emerging technologies could serve as the fulcrum for realization of the SDGs and their associated targets.
