Universität Hamburg (UHH) has set itself the goal of helping to shape a sustainable future. To this end, it has chosen so called "SDG-Patrons [German: Paten]" among its scientists: The aim is to research and develop concepts for sustainable development in line with the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
For each of the 17 UN SDGs, scientists were chosen that are already deeply involved in research areas concerning the individual goals. The aim is to promote scientific contributions from the faculties of UHH to the SDGs, to point out interfaces between the sustainability goals and at the same time to reflect critically on these goals. In addition to the scientific objectives, the focus lies in particular on the aspect of networking.
From the 51 scientists chosen as SDG-Patrons 12 are members of the CGG:
