Springer Nature SDG Programme

SDG 16: Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions

Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 16 is one of the 17 Goals established by the United Nations in 2015. The official wording of SDG 16 is: “Promote peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development, provide access to justice for all and build effective, accountable and inclusive institutions at all levels.” Peace and justice are essential for economic growth, social development, and environmental protection. Achieving SDG 16 means creating a world where everyone has the opportunity to reach their full potential, and live together in peace and security.

If you care about your work contributing to achieving the SDGs, then you should work with a publisher that shares that commitment. Springer Nature, steadfastly focused on the SDGs, is that publisher. Publishing your SDG 16-linked research with Springer Nature will amplify its reach, impact and influence.

At Springer Nature we want to provide a home for SDG-related knowledge, facilitating the discovery, sharing, use and reuse of research that has true impact. Academic and editorial communities facilitate knowledge exchange, encourage global dialogue, and identify solutions.
