In view of our world’s multiple challenges, to craft and implement solutions requires skilled and dedicated professionals across fields and geographies. This is why SDSN and its SDG Academy are working with universities around the world to offer Online Master’s Programs in Sustainable Development that will help prepare students with the tools, skills, and knowledge to build a fulfilling and challenging career tackling the world’s biggest challenges.
