Sustainable Development Goals: Good Health for All

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Agenda 2030 of the United Nations (UN) provide the framework for an international program to “save our planet and our future”. Next to the UN and the World Health Organization, leading nations, NGOs, private foundations and other key organizations play an increasingly supportive role in achieving the 17 SDGs. Witnessing this common effort is extremely encouraging, as global problems can only be solved by transdisciplinary, cross-sectoral, and science-based concerted actions. Hence, science has to take responsibility! Research and innovative technologies already shape our future, and this process is gathering speed. We have to make sure that today’s amazing achievements are being used for the collective good. This symposium sheds light on the progress realized so far concerning the implementation of the SDGs in politics. Furthermore, it will raise awareness about the importance of the intertwined biology-environment-lifestyle-complex for our health – especially regarding disease prevention and health preservation. Prof. Dr. Martin Grötschel, President of BBAW, gives a welcoming speech, followed by an introduction into the symposiums topic by Detlev Ganten, Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin and member of BBAW.
