June 2017
June 2017: The SDG Lab the UN Office at Geneva (UNOG) was publicly launched on 1 June 2017, at an event that highlighted what the “indivisibility” of the SDGs means in practice, with discussions assessing the linkages between two SDGs – gender (SDG 5) and industry, innovation and infrastructure (SDG 9). The SDG Lab, which began operations at UNOG in January 2017, serves a multi-stakeholder community of actors in and outside Geneva.
Situated in the Office of the Director General at UNOG, the SDG Lab encourages partnerships, informs policy, and influences practice and action surrounding the SDGs. The goal of the SDG Lab is to identify strategic opportunities to maximize initiatives supporting the implementation of the SDGs and to foster strong relationships between actors in Geneva and beyond.
