How universities can help cities achieve the Sustainable Development Goals

This “City Playbook for Advancing the SDGs” compiles a series of how-to briefs and case studies on advancing sustainable development and social progress locally. These short, digestible, and practical briefs are written by city government officials for other city officials, based on their direct experience.

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a global compact, but it is in cities where the work of sustainable development gets done. As Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti says, the SDGs are about us, and they start at home. But while city governments can lead, we cannot achieve the SDGs alone. Measuring and reporting our progress are done with tools, but they will not get us to the future we want without new initiatives and more capacity to build on and sustain them. And with most governments’ budgets strained already, translating the Global Goals into local action must add value, not burden.
