In 2015, the member states of the United Nations unanimously adopted the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as an ambitious plan to fix what is wrong with our planet until the year 2030. Achieving the goals is not negotiable. It is the main way to address the challenges of climate change, growing inequalities and the fourth industrial revolution together.

Visegrad for Sustainability or V4SDG was created to become the organisation that paves the way towards the achievement of the SDGs in Central Eastern Europe. Our founders, four young professionals, realised that the region's sustainability actors are not connected enough, especially across sectors, and are not well-integrated into the global mainstream of sustainability affairs.

By addressing these two issues, we can make the development of sustainability solutions easier and create a pipeline for their global application. Essentially, we are strengthening cooperation on sustainability to make it our region's greatest innovation and development opportunity in history.

Established in 2018, we have grown into a non-profit organisation of over 30 young professionals working on these objectives. We are starting with the Visegrad Countries but will soon expand to the rest of Central Eastern Europe.
