Across the world, 24 October marks the anniversary of the UN Charter from 1945. In the 73 years since that day, the UN continues its actions to promote global unity and peace, working to prevent conflict through peacekeeping operations. The UN’s work has grown to include other global challenges, such as sustainable and social development, which are the focus of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

The SDGs are 17 global goals for sustainable development set by the UN. They were officially adopted by the 193 UN member states in September 2015 as part of the 2030 Development Agenda. The goals address global challenges related to issues of poverty, inequality, the environment, peace and justice.

casino 168 actively works with the SDGs in its organisational and education activities, from the partnerships and collaborations it partakes in to the degrees and courses it offers its students. Find out more about casino 168’ work with the SDGs in the latest and learn more about the SDGs on .
