UCL SDG Research Accelerator

The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are an urgent call for action by all countries - developed and developing - in a global partnership. The UCL SDG Research Accelerator is a research-led, transdisciplinary initiative that aims to align climate (SDG13), health (SDG3) and urban (SDG11) goals in partnership with relevant stakeholders in society (SDG17) and in synergy with the other SDGs. The Accelerator is defined by cutting-edge built environment research that is informed by scientific, policy and industry knowledge and responds to current societal challenges. It undertakes three types of activities:

• Primary RESEARCH – which is transdisciplinary and challenge-driven. 
• Policy IMPACT – by providing scientific evidence within local, national and international policymaking processes.
• Public DIALOGUES – that supports knowledge transfer and exchanges outside the academia.
