Examples of UN SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals in Action

SDG 17 seeks to strengthen the means of implementation and revitalize global partnerships for sustainable development. It emphasizes the importance of collaboration across governments, businesses, civil society, and individuals to achieve the SDGs.

By fostering partnerships at the global, regional, and local levels, SDG 17 aims to ensure that no one is left behind and that collective efforts drive progress toward the achievement of all the Sustainable Development Goals.
