Being an SDG House reinforces The Hague Humanity Hub purpose; to support and strengthen the ecosystem of diverse actors working for a more peaceful and just world. Facilitating connections and collaboration between so many different organizations working on the many facets of peace and justice can be challenging. So, we asked ourselves what's the common thread? The 2030 Global Goals Agenda that was established by the United Nations - the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), is built on the principle of "leaving no one behind", and they provide a common language and roadmap - for all of us - towards creating a better and more sustainable future for all.
