Week17  (a reference to both week 17 and the 17 Global Sustainable Development Goals) is an international theme week for libraries, focusing on the UN’s Global Goals . The event was first launched by the Danish Library Association but has since spread to other countries. At KTH Library, we will host several activities during week 17.

Want to learn more about climate, the environment, and social sustainability? We have gathered books that explore the Global Goals from different perspectives. You can also explore literature in our digital themed collection Week17 – Theme Week on UN’s 17 Global Goals , where we showcase selected resources, both physical and digital.
