And yet, an increasing body of studies suggests that the SDGs have failed to transform political and economic systems. Moreover, most SDGs are not on track to be achieved by 2030.
The international research conference GLOBALGOALS2024—The Future of the SDGs (co-hosted by Southern Voice), to be held in Utrecht, the Netherlands, is designed as a much–needed forum to advance theoretical reflection and empirical, actionable knowledge on the success of the 2030 Agenda and the SDGs.
The Conference will offer a broad global platform to share and discuss new ideas for the future of the SDGs and global sustainability governance.

Overall, GLOBALGOALS2024 is expected to be a critical academic stepping stone in preparing for the UN Summit of the Future in September 2024.
