Despite the setback for the SDGs created by the Covid-19 pandemic, SDSN chapters have seen their membership and activity grow significantly over the past 12 months. While the overall membership of SDSN has grown by 17% compared to 2020, the number of knowledge institutions joining SDSN networks has almost doubled in certain regions, speaking to the increasing interest in the SDGs by the world's universities and colleges.
