France-AtlantaFrance has been committed for many years to the path of sustainable development and this commitment is reflected in strong policies in each of the three pillars of sustainable development: environmental protection, economic development and social justice. Numerous cities, states, universities, NGOs, and other organizations in the U.S. support such an agenda.
The 17 U.N. SDGs are integral to Georgia Tech’s new strategic plan demonstrating Tech’s commitment to advancing these goals. How will their actions reverberate within the city of Atlanta, the southeast, Tech’s global campuses, or even wider still? How has France advanced in implementing the SDGs?
