International Institute for Sustainable Development

The International Organization for Standardization has adopted a new standard for managing commitments to the UN Sustainable Development Goals. The standard gives organisations a formal framework for setting, tracking and reporting their contributions to the SDGs. Sustainability and corporate responsibility observers are expected to scrutinise how companies and institutions implement it.

The International Institute for Sustainable Development is highlighting the Global Stocktake, the process assessing worldwide progress on climate action, with a focus on its implications for human health. The discussion connects rising temperatures, extreme weather and air pollution to health outcomes, arguing that health considerations should be central to the next round of national climate commitments.
