UK Government urged to increase engagement with the SDGs

The CBI and International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) have called on the UK Government to create "clear definitions" and communication plans to act on the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), using access to green finance to mobilise private sector action. The two organisations convened businesses to issue a call to action over the Government’s engagement and commitment to the SDGs. Recommendations include a “joined-up strategy” across government that links departments together to act against the SDGs, clear communication of how consumers and business can contribute to the goals and an action plan to accelerate sustainable finance in the UK.
