The co-chairs of Science Platform Sustainability 2030 – Daniela Jacob, Mark Lawrence (RIFS) and Christa Liedtke – outlined the platform’s objective for the second period: The platform is to become a central instrument at the national level to facilitate networking, dialogue, and the pooling of knowledge. At the same time, wpn2030 will mobilize actors from science, politics and society to ensure that their voices contribute to critical reflection on and the implementation of the 2030 Agenda and its SDGs as well as the German Sustainable Development Strategy.
