This year marks the halfway point between the introduction of the Sustainable Development Goals and the 2030 target. Shostya notes that this exhibit reflects Pace studentsvlogƵ understanding of the success stories that have flourished since the goals were launched, as well as the challenges that continue to lie ahead.
