The SDSN was launched in 2012, by UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, to mobilize global scientific and technological expertise to promote practical problem solving for sustainable development, including the design and implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Following the adoption of the SDGs in 2015, the SDSN is now committed to supporting the implementation of the SDGs at local, national, and global scales.
