This is a representation of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (ODS) made with plastic waste. The ODS are a set of 17 global objectives to address social, economic, and environmental challenges that are part of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
At VivaLab Porto, we are proud in our commitment to promoting the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) at the local level. Our dedication to sustainability spans various areas, focusing on quality education (SDG 4), gender equality (SDG 5), responsible consumption (SDG 12), climate action (SDG 13), and fostering partnerships to achieve these objectives (SDG 17).
