GLOBALGOALS 2024—The Future of the SDGs

From to

The international research conference GLOBALGOALS2024—The Future of the SDGs aims to advance theoretical reflection and empirical, actionable knowledge on the success of the 2030 Agenda and the SDGs. It will be held from 29-30 August 2024 at Utrecht University.

The Conference will offer a broad global platform to share and discuss new ideas for the future of the SDGs and global sustainability governance. Importantly, the Conference will offer ample space for transdisciplinarity and contributions by non-academic experts, aiming to combine academic and non-academic policy proposals. Overall, GLOBALGOALS2024 is expected to be a critical academic stepping stone in preparing for the UN Summit of the Future in September 2024.

Contributions

GLOBALGOALS2024 welcomes two types of contributions:

  • Research Papers are traditional academic research contributions; they may offer new theoretical insights and frameworks, new empirical research findings, or broader systematic reviews of the literature. 
  • Transformative Ideas are non-traditional contributions that seek to lay out, in a clear and convincing way, novel ideas about the manifold transformations needed to achieve the SDGs en route to 2030 as well as how a future, post-2030 agenda should look like. While Transformative Ideas can be submitted by academics, this new format targets especially non-academic experts, including representatives of think tanks, civil society organizations, and youth movements.
