RCE Yogyakarta had the opportunity to do a joint-research with Chulalongkorn University Thailand, Universiti Sains Malaysia, and Keio University Japan, and UNESCO Bangkok Thailand as part of the ProSPER.Net member. The project aims to investigate how universities can support local authorities and communities for their effective implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals.

As a part of ownership from the implementation of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by local authorities and communities, civil society and the scientific and academic community is paramount to the realization of the goals. Across Asia and the Pacific, while many national governments promote partnerships and local implementation in the national SDG action plans, differences abound in the extent of the implementation as well as in actual practices. Further efforts are needed to explore how the local implementation of the SDGs can be facilitated and accelerated more effectively, as well as how local authorities and communities can be empowered to implement the global goals at the local level. read more
