To achieve the United Nations Agenda 2030 and its 17 Sustainable Development Goals Particularly Goal 17: Strengthen the means of implementation and revitalize the Global Partnership for Sustainable Development, WASD is very keen to engage and collaborate very closely with all academic and research institutions from all-over the world.
