SDGs-to-Go: What are the SDGs?

Want to quickly explain the SDGs? Or even SDG monitoring? That is now possible with our flyer series "SDGs to Go". In three different flyers, we have addressed the questions "What are the SDGs?", "What is SDG monitoring?" and "What is 2030Watch?" and explained them as clearly and understandably as possible. The flyers are ideal for preparation for participants in events on the SDGs or for multipliers to distribute. The flyer"What are the SDGs?" is aimed in particular at people who have not yet dealt intensively with the Sustainable Development Goals. The flyers"What is SDG monitoring?" and"What is 2030Watch?" can also be interesting for all those who are familiar with the SDGs but not with their monitoring. The flyers can be downloaded via the respective links or ordered at roth@forumue.de.
