contribute toward reaching the 17 Sustainable Development Goals as 
formulated by the United Nations to achieve a better and more 
sustainable future for all.

Our research group focusses on three of these UN-dimensions of 
sustainability and the role of communication relating to these, namely 
environmental, social, economic, and the challenges that these three 
pose in relation to, for example, climate and equality.
