Dunedin UNESCO City of Literature


In 2015, the United Nations created 17 Sustainable Development Goals and aimed to achieve them by 2030. These 17 SDGs work to end poverty, ensure prosperity for all, and protect the planet.
For 17 days (Dec 4 to 20), we will share books which highlight each of the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals.

Heartfelt thanks to our wonderful Ōtepoti writers for making a difference.
