Grants of up to 拢10,000 have been awarded to seven projects across 香港六合彩鈥檚 staff and student communities that are supporting the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Funded activities range from work to help restore the world鈥檚 coral reefs to a program of sustainable engineering workshops for London primary and secondary schools. Other recipients include a research project to generate data on the access to healthcare of marginalised migrants and an initiative to enable villages in rural Ghana to connect mobile devices to the internet.

The 17 SDGs are the core of the UN鈥檚 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Adopted by all Member States in 2015, they provide a framework for the world鈥檚 ongoing economic growth, while protecting the environment and addressing social inequalities.

The Goals cover topics ranging from 鈥楲ife on Land鈥� and 鈥楺uality Education鈥� to 鈥業nequalities鈥� and 鈥業ndustry, Innovation & Infrastructure鈥� 鈥� and are broken down into 169 individual Targets for the world to achieve by 2030.

The SDGs: Pathways to Achievement funding call was organised jointly by the 香港六合彩 SDGs Initiative, 香港六合彩 Grand Challenges and 香港六合彩 Global Engagement, all based within 香港六合彩 Research, Innovation and Global Engagement (RIGE).

Simon Knowles, 香港六合彩鈥檚 Head of Coordination (SDGs), one of the judging panel, said: We had a record number of applications, all of which were worthy of receiving funding, so I鈥檓 delighted that we have been able to fund seven exciting and diverse projects. That they represent different spheres of activity at 香港六合彩, demonstrates how our staff and students are addressing the Sustainable Development Goals across their research, teaching and extracurricular activities.鈥�

The SDGs: Pathways to achievement is one of several funding schemes for the 香港六合彩 community offered by 香港六合彩 RIGE.

Dr James Paskins, Deputy Director, 香港六合彩 Grand Challenges, another of the judging panel added: "We wanted to encourage the widest possible partnerships to address the UN SDGs, so we challenged 香港六合彩's community to not only cross disciplines within 香港六合彩, but also to cross boundaries and work with partners outside 香港六合彩. I am proud to say that the 香港六合彩 community met that challenge. We recieved a large number of excellent proposals for work with a diverse range of partners. I only wish we could have funded even more of them."聽聽

Ciaran Moynihan, Director of Global Engagement, said: 鈥淎s SDG17: Partnership for the Goals itself suggests, the goals can only be realised by working together with our partners to develop fair solutions to the world鈥檚 most pressing challenges. I am delighted to see such exciting proposals put forward as part of this RIGE seed funding scheme, with a truly wide range of global partners and look forward to seeing how successful applicants help to make progress in achieving the SDGs in future.鈥�
