VU Amsterdam and specifically the Faculty of Humanities actively contribute to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In 2016, the United Nations established 17 SDGs for the period from 2016 to 2030.
The Sustainable Development Goals are a global compass for challenges such as poverty, education and the climate crisis. In the blogs below, researchers from the Faculty of Humanities talk about how their research relates to the SDGs.
