  • Promoting SDGs in North America

    Rice University



    Support the implementation of the SDGs in North American cities by engaging in this fascinating project. The team will review the vast and important Community Indicator projects to develop a capacity index for adopting the SDGs in North American cities.

    The Problem this Project Addresses:

    City level efforts at implementing the SDGs in North America are not incentivized by National level policy.

SDGs offer excellent and objective goals and targets that offer alignment and partnership opportunities for local communities and cities.
