World Standards Day 2021 - Vision for a better world
The world faces numerous challenges in the areas of sustainable management, environmental protection and social justice. To address these, 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals were launched as a global community project. National standardization work is making its contribution to achieving the global sustainability agenda, writes the Swiss Association for Standardization.
World Standards Day takes place annually on 14 October. This year, the theme is "Shared vision for a better world" and aims to draw attention to the role that standardization work plays in achieving the UN's 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In order to achieve the defined sustainable development goals by 2030, the cooperation of many public and private partners and the use of all available instruments, including international standards and conformity assessments, is required, emphasizes the Swiss Association for Standardization (SNV). National standardization work supports organizations and other stakeholders in achieving sustainable, economic and social solutions.
On the basis of weekly Short videos SNV shows the many ways in which national standardization work contributes to the success of the SDGs.
