I am currently working on putting together a Solutions Summit for STEAM journal editors, editorial board members, and publishers to communicate, educate, and motivate them to take action on UN Sustainability Development Goals (SDGs).
This is a joint effort of the HESI SDG Publishers Compact Fellows who come from academia, publishing, and technology. You can read more about the Fellows here - https://www.sdgcompactfellows.org/
I will share more details about this summit soon.

What are the SDGs? https://sdgs.un.org/goals
All member states of the UN agreed to adopt the SDGs in 2015. It is a universal action plan for global cooperation on sustainable development for the period 2015 to 2030. To leave no one behind, 2030 Agenda has defined 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) with 169 targets.
Despite its voluntary nature however, the 2030 Agenda carries a strong moral obligation or social contract on the part of governments to implement it.
In response to the SDGs the publishing industry through the IPA and in partnership with the UN and Frankfurt Buchmesse launched the SDG Publisher Compact on 14 October 2020 (https://www.un.org/sustainabledevelopment/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/SDG-PublishersCompact_PR-1.pdf). Currently there are over 200 members globally.
