Describe how you have evaluated your project ideas against one or more of the SDGs.

Best Sustainable Development Special Prize

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a call to action to integrally address global environmental, social, and economic challenges. As the future leaders of synthetic biology research and innovation, it’s your responsibility to participate in the global conversations to help develop solutions towards meeting the SDGs. We encourage you to demonstrate how you have evaluated your project ideas against one or more of the SDGs, how you’ve consulted with SDG stakeholders, and how you’ve begun to form collaborations with other iGEM teams around the SDGs. You’re encouraged to look back at previous iGEM projects to evaluate them against the SDGs and build upon them.

To compete for the Best Best Sustainable Development prize, please describe your work on this page and also fill out the description on the judging form.
