Gli obiettivi per lo sviluppo sostenibile e le biblioteche

Abstract

In 2015, the United Nations adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, with 17 goals (SDGs) at its core, to which 193 member countries of the UN agreed. These goals aim at ending poverty, fighting inequality and stopping climate change. UN has been working also with many international institutions and associations among which library associations, particularly through IFLA. IFLA is taking on an active role in the Agenda, promoting libraries as a vehicle for SDGs. In Italy, the national network ASviS has been created to support the Agenda 2030 in all kind of institutions and the academic network RUS to support it in universities where it has many implications for research, teaching and third mission.
