So what can be done? The UN Chief has invited world leaders to attend the <a href="https://www.un.org/en/summit-of-the-future" class="is-external" data-track="click" data-track-label="/gp/advancing-discovery/springboard/blog/blogposts-sustainability-inclusion/accelerating-action-to-the-sdgs/27666910" data-track-category="sn:content-page-main-content" data-track-component="richtext-link - Summit of the Future - https://www.un.org/en/summit-of-the-future">Summit of the Future</a> later this month; a conference that seeks to reinvigorate global actions towards the goals, focusing on ‘how’ to deliver targets instead of ‘why’, and creating a ‘Pact for the Future’ in order to keep sustainable development at the forefront of national and international agendas. </p><p>There’s immense value to be had in pausing to evaluate efforts towards the goals, with a view to redoubling them and ensuring their efficacy. Especially at this time of year when the goals are front of mind. We remain committed to the SDGs at Springer Nature. They are the most visible and concrete way to highlight where governments, businesses and civil society can collectively address urgent global challenges with local, evidence-based solutions. We believe the goals provide a framework for new research, partnerships and collaborations that can drive better outcomes for people and the planet. </p><p>The biggest impact we can have on the goals is through the content we publish. We want to provide a home for SDG-related knowledge, facilitating the discovery, sharing, use and reuse of research that has true impact towards a sustainable future. Since their ratification in 2015, we’ve published over 940,000 articles and chapters related to the goals, and over half of our SDG related articles are open access, meaning they can be read and shared easily by decision makers and others who need them to take action. In 2023, half of the articles from a fifth of our journals were related to the goals. Recently we have highlighted each of these journals with an SDG “badge” to show our communities - both within and especially outside academia - the journals that are directly facilitating increased knowledge creation and exchange around the goals. We have also updated a<a href="https://www.springernature.com/gp/researchers/sdg-programme/oa-sdg-books" class="is-external" data-track="click" data-track-label="/gp/advancing-discovery/springboard/blog/blogposts-sustainability-inclusion/accelerating-action-to-the-sdgs/27666910" data-track-category="sn:content-page-main-content" data-track-component="richtext-link - dedicated hub to showcase our SDG related Open Access (OA) books - https://www.springernature.com/gp/researchers/sdg-programme/oa-sdg-books"> dedicated hub to showcase our SDG related Open Access (OA) books</a>. This is all part of our commitment as signatories of the <a href="https://group.springernature.com/gp/group/media/press-releases/archive-2020/springer-nature-joins-sdg-publishers-compact/18702748" class="is-external" data-track="click" data-track-label="/gp/advancing-discovery/springboard/blog/blogposts-sustainability-inclusion/accelerating-action-to-the-sdgs/27666910" data-track-category="sn:content-page-main-content" data-track-component="richtext-link - UN Publishers Compact - https://group.springernature.com/gp/group/media/press-releases/archive-2020/springer-nature-joins-sdg-publishers-compact/18702748">UN Publishers Compact</a>: to act as champions of the SDGs, publishing books and journals that will help inform, develop, and inspire action in that direction.</p><p>As a publishing company of several international media brands, we have a role to play in raising awareness of the goals themselves and mobilising action towards them. We’ve joined forces with others to leverage the access we have to global audiences and to achieve more than the sum of our parts.

Academic and editorial communities facilitate knowledge exchange, encourage global dialogue and identify solutions to worldwide issues – all essential components for realising the SDGs. Behind every piece of research we publish is a team of talented, dedicated editors, without whom world-changing research discoveries would remain undiscovered. Our role is to ensure they know the impact they can have, and that the world sees the effects of their work. </p><p>We make sure to convene the experts we work with from science, research, policy and practice at various events, to show just how impactful research can be.

Instead we are looking for new ways to highlight the insights the world needs to make progress, to share our content with policymakers, and to amplify the excellent research community behind the findings we publish.</p></div> <div class="inline-author inline-author-big"> <div class="author-image"><div class="image"><span><img src="data:image/svg+xml;utf8,<%3Fxml version='1.0'
