We provide resources
The SDG Impact Assessment Tool is a free online learning tool that visualizes the results from a self-assessment of how an activity, organisation or innovation affects the SDGs.

Real-time data and sustainability reports are great sources for research, education, and other knowledge-creating activities.
Surveys and analyses are conducted on request. One example is a survey on travels and meetings during Covid-19, another is a pre-study for the Nordic Council of Ministers Program.
We promote SDG Action
Policy work is done on regional, European and global levels. One example is that we are part of the SDSN Europe, which mobilizes and coordinates the knowledge and science across the European SDSN networks in support of a sustainable and resilient EU. Another is that we contribute to the global Sustainable Development Report and SDG Index every year.

Solutions Initiatives is a concept where we highlight long-term member projects that aim to accelerate progress towards sustainable development. The outcome of a Solutions Initiative is expected to be transformative, holistic, and scalable. Some examples are the Mistra Carbon Exit Programme and the Climate Framework for Higher Education Institutions.
