UN Sustainable Development goalsÂ
Social, ecological and economic sustainable development is an overarching goal in the Interreg Aurora Programme. All projects funded by Interreg Aurora contributes to the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
The MinImpact project has developed its own SDG pyramid. At the top are the primary goals, which represent the fundamental essence of our daily work. The secondary goals form the second level and are of additional importance for our work. Finally, the third level comprises goals that are still relevant but are perhaps not at the centre of our systematic efforts.
