Accelerating  to localise the SDGs in the UK. Short film on UN SDGs

Researchers from the Sheffield-Manchester platform, in partnership with UK Stakeholders for Sustainable Development, recently ran a two-day residential workshop to explore how UK cities can localise the Sustainable Development Goals.
The workshop included representatives from local authorities and other urban stakeholders, and aimed to build a coalition of city-based stakeholders who could collaborate on a future programme which would aim to accelerate localising the SDGs in the UK.The workshop was hosted in Sheffield, UK,  and involved a mixture of case studies and immersive learning opportunities.
