As a members of academia, there are several ways we can step up efforts to expedite the attainment of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) targets. Here are few suggestions:

Conduct research: We can conduct research on various aspects of SDGs, such as the challenges faced in achieving them, best practices, and innovative solutions. Research can also help in identifying the gaps in current policies and programs, and provide evidence-based recommendations to policy-makers.

Develop educational resources: We can create educational resources to help raise awareness about the SDGs among students and the public. This can include developing course materials, online courses, and workshops on SDGs.

Lead by example: We can lead by example by adopting sustainable practices in their research, teaching, and daily lives. This can include reducing their carbon footprint, promoting sustainable consumption and production, and advocating for sustainable policies and practices.

By taking these steps, we as a members of academia can play a crucial role in expediting the attainment of SDGs targets and creating a more sustainable future for all.
