Background |
|
In September 2015, the world’s leaders signed off on the new Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), a global agreement identifying the world’s priorities for the next 15 years.
Since 2012, United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) has been a force for innovation in the development arena. UNDP recognizes that if we shall ever achieve the SDGs in this increasingly complex world where development challenges are continuously emerging and changing – particularly now in a COVID19-world - there is an urgent need to move away from business as usual and respond with agile and flexible solutions.
The SDGs are still not fully integrated across different sectors, and many companies lack the knowledge to engage with them in practice. This project constitutes a first major step towards systematically implementing the SDGs in the maritime sector and is implemented in partnership with Danish Maritime and funded by the Maritime Foundation. The Maritime SDG Accelerator will identify the maritime companies’ needs for assistance when working with the SDGs, introduce the Goals to the entire industry, carry out an in-depth course in sustainable business development with 10 maritime companies with adapted material from the SDG Accelerator for SMEs and spread knowledge about the use of SDGs in the maritime sector. (The SDG Accelerator for SMEs is an innovation progamme in UNDP that was piloted with 32 companies in Denmark in 2018 and 2019: www.sdg-accelerator.org
The project coordinator will work for UNDP Nordic Representation Office on implementing the Maritime SDG Accelerator in Denmark.
The communication and programme consultant works directly with the project manager at Danish Maritime and the project manager of the commissioned consultancy group on implementing the Maritime SDG Accelerator and is supervised by the Head of the SDG Accelerator Programme (Private Sector and Partnership Analyst).
