Strategies to Achieve Sustainable Development Goals for Health and the Environment

Dear Colleagues,

The 2023 Global Sustainable Development Report (GSDR) underlines that the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for sustainable development “requires the active mobilization of political leadership and ambition for science-based transformations”.

Sustainable living means understanding how our lifestyle choices impact the world around us and finding ways for everyone to live better and lighter. This Special Issue focuses on health- and environment-related development goals (SDGs) such as ending hunger, achieving food security and improved nutrition, and promoting sustainable agriculture (SDG 2); ensuring healthy lives and promoting well-being for all at all ages, including research on formal and informal education for sustainable lifestyles (SDG 3); ensuring the availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all (SDG 6); making cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable; ensuring sustainable consumption and production patterns; and taking urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts.

This collection aims to publish reviews and original articles mapping the situation; presenting tools, activities and programs; and sharing reflections, experiences and best practices from different countries and communities concerning how individuals and different stakeholders can contribute to achieving SDGs.
