ClimAct Now: Raising awareness of the importance of climate change
ITHS, one of the institutions within the LINKgroup participated in the project ClimAct Now!, which refers to Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 13 from the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The 2030 Agenda was adopted in 2015 by all member states of the UN, and represents a joint plan for achieving peace and prosperity among all people on the planet, both now and in the future. Member states are committed to protecting the planet from environmental changes, agreeing that climate change represents a serious challenge, the consequences of which threaten the potential of future generations to achieve sustainable development.
