On the margins of the UN High-Level Political Forum 2023, we are very proud to launch the Ban Ki-moon Centre for Global Citizens publication “Austria’s Commitment to the 2030 Agenda”. The publication covers national, European, and global efforts to implement the SDGs. Against the backdrop of multiple crises, it is now more important than ever to find global solutions based on cooperation, partnership, and sustainability.
