Background
The GSDR, produced once every four years, is written by an independent group of 15 scientists appointed by the United Nations Secretary-General.
The 2023 group included leading experts from the natural and social sciences across world regions and was co-chaired by Dr. Imme Scholz of Germany and Dr. J. Jaime Miranda of Peru.
The GSDR was requested by United Nations Member States to strengthen the science-policy interface and to provide evidence-based guidance on global sustainable development issues and the implementation of the 2030 Agenda and its SDGs. The report was launched at the UN Headquarters in New York at the SDG Summit in September 2023.
To operationalize the findings of the report in Asia and the Pacific, a GSDR regional workshop will take place in New Delhi, India, from 22 - 24 October.
