Launch of the Europe Sustainable Development Report 2023/24

The Europe Sustainable Development Report 2023/24 (5th edition) provides an independent quantitative assessment of the progress by the European Union, its Member States and partner countries towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In light of the upcoming European Elections and UN Summit of the Future, this year’s edition reveals that at the current rate, a third of the SDG targets will not be achieved by the EU by 2030 and that decisive actions must be taken by the EU to avoid dangerous environmental and social “tipping points.”


Complementing the report, a group of 200+ scientists, experts, and practitioners from 25 European countries also published a joint 'Call for Action,' identifying 10 priority actions for the incoming EU leadership to accelerate SDG implementation within Europe and internationally.

    Universities have the Potential to Play a Key Role in the Acceleration of a Just Transition

    By Lyndsay Gehring, Program Associate, Council of Engineers for the Energy Transition • 16 Jan, 2024
    Among the many agenda items at COP28, one of the most widely publicized was the promise from over 100 countries to back the pledge to triple the world’s clean energy capacity by 2030. Meeting this ambitious pledge, which sets out to reach 10,000 gigawatts of global renewables by 2030, will require the proper training of a skilled workforce. In 2021, global employment in the renewable energy sector already reached 12.7 million - up one million since 2020 alone. As the world pushes to decarbonize economies, countries must continue to ramp up the deployment of renewables, and train a new generation of young and transitioning workers. Universities have the ability to serve as more effective partners in the energy transition by improving course offerings in renewable energy. Specifically, universities should adapt to provide interdisciplinary coursework for technical renewable energy programs and increase partnerships with government agencies and industry leaders.
