SDGs Center Grand Design 2025-2030
The Grand Design is UNESA SDGs Center’s road map for 2025 to 2030: which Sustainable Development Goals UNESA puts forward each year, the ranking band it aims for, and the education, research and community-service work that supports them.
Focus goals and targets by year
Each card is a year: the target ranking band and the focus SDGs. Goals outlined in gold join that year. Hover over a year to bring it forward.
UNESA builds on three goals in 2025, Quality Education (SDG 4), Gender Equality (SDG 5) and Decent Work and Economic Growth (SDG 8), and adds goals each year, reaching ten by 2030. The ranking target rises from the 600-800 band in 2025 to the 201-300 band from 2027, with SDG 4 and SDG 8 in the 101-200 band in 2028 and SDG 5 in the top 100 from 2029.
Three areas of work
Education
Bringing the SDGs into the curriculum, international summer courses, and inbound and outbound student exchange.
Research
Research grants with SDG impact, national and international research collaboration (including with low-income countries), and Q1 and Q2 publications.
Community service
SDG-themed community development, focus group discussions and dissemination of community-service results, and community empowerment at national and global level.
The Feasible Plan turns this road map into a 12-month work plan with stages, resources and performance targets.
