Goal 16 - Promote peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development, provide access to justice for all and build effective, accountable and inclusive institutions at all levels.

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a collection of 17 global goals set by the United Nations General Assembly in 2015 for the year 2030.

AUSN Courses that focus on this SDG include:

Conflict Resolution, Peace-making and Justice in Global Understanding (CRPJ) 

Global Public Health and Peace (GPHP) 

Human Research Subject Protection (HRSP) 

International Development and Sustainability (IDSU)

There are Masters and PhD degree options that follow this SDG Curriculum to discuss all aspects of sustainable development at the American University of Sovereign Nations (AUSN), available around the world. Additional related topics are included in a variety of Advanced Research Seminar Courses. Applications for scholarships are made through submission of the Application form (in Word). 

The SDG Curriculum is presented on the individual pages for each goal.  The SDGs are part of Resolution 70/1 of the United Nations General Assembly, the 2030 Agenda. The goals are broad based and interdependent. The 17 sustainable development goals each have a list of targets that are measured with indicators. There are 169 targets for the 17 goals. Each target has between 1 and 3 indicators used to measure progress toward reaching the targets.

We welcome other partners to contribute materials, and for users to submit feedback and suggestions.

Where available, translations of the materials are also available.
