Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS)

The activity of the private, financial and non-financial sector is recognized within the United Nations system as fundamental for the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) and their objectives.

The private sector actors have knowledge, experience, technologies and resources that are of special relevance to promote national and international sustainable development. For this reason, they are called to join the global partnerships for the implementation of the 2030 Agenda.

Private activity has an impact on economic growth, social development and environmental sustainability. Under this premise, the private sector has a high potential to contribute to the achievement of all the SDGs, highlighting among them: SDG-1 (end of poverty), SDG-5 (gender equality), SDG-6 (clean water and sanitation), SDG-7 (affordable and clean energy), SDG-8 (decent work and economic growth), SDG-9 (Industry, innovation and infrastructures), SDG-12 (responsible production and consumption), SDG-13 (action to combat climate change) and SDG-17 (partnerships to achieve the goals).

Nebrija University offers the Expert Degree in Private Sector and Agenda 2030 in order to contribute to the strengthening of the knowledge and skills of this sector in the performance of its role as agent of sustainable development.
