UN Launches 2030 Connect Online Platform

2030 Connect aims to be a “one-stop-shop” for policy makers, practitioners, students, members of civil society and other stakeholders seeking to tap into the expertise and networks of the United Nations system and its partners. In addition to a cross-platform search function, 2030 Connect offers timely feature stories with links to science and technology resources— for example to small-scale entrepreneurs who won a recent UN-sponsored innovation competition, a compendium of technologies to combat the COVID-19 pandemic, or open access research.

2030 Connect is an initiative of the Inter-Agency Task Team, a network of United Nations agencies working to advance science, technology and innovation for sustainable development through the “Technology Facilitation Mechanism” that was mandated by Member States. The Department of Economic and Social Affairs’ Division for Sustainable Development Goals (DESA/DSDG) oversees 2030 Connect, which was created in partnership with the UN Office for Information and Communication Technology (OICT).
