Advance global sustainability through SDG-aligned scholarship

The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development provides a shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet.

To amplify this global effort, JSTOR offers SDG-aligned ebook packages—curated collections designed to support research, teaching, and learning around each of the UN’s 17 goals.
