2015年9月，联合国大会通过了一项决议，确定了17个可持续发展目标（SDG）和169个相关目标，世界各国同意到2030年实现这些目标。本文通过对联合国四个与可持续发展相关的关键政策文件进行专题分析，认为除了财政和其他资源外，获取和使用适当的信息对实现可持续发展目标至关重要。本文还回顾了在iSchools和计算机和人机交互HCI社区进行的信息和可持续性研究。鉴于iSchools的使命是通过使用适当的技术和工具将人和社会与所需的信息联系起来，本文认为，iSchools可以在帮助人，机构和企业，从而帮助世界各国实现SDG方面发挥关键作用。该文件确定了4个广泛的教学和研究领域，可以帮助世界各地的iSchools准备一支训练有素的劳动力队伍，他们可以管理和促进访问特定领域和背景下的信息。还有人认为，iSchools之间的合作与协作可以在不同学科的大学毕业生和研究人员中促进可持续信息实践的文化，这将为每个部门实现可持续发展目标铺平道路。
In September 2015, the United Nations (UN) General Assembly passed a resolution identifying 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and 169 associated targets, and countries around the world agreed to achieve these by 2030. By conducting a thematic analysis of four key UN policy documents related to sustainable development, this paper argues that alongside financial and other resources, access to, and use of, appropriate information are essential for achieving SDGs. The paper also reviews research on information and sustainability undertaken at the iSchools and the computer and human–computer interaction HCI communities. Given that the mission of iSchools is to connect people and society with the required information through the use of appropriate technologies and tools, this paper argues that iSchools can play a key role in helping people, institutions, and businesses, and thus countries around the world achieve SDGs. The paper identifies 4 broad areas of teaching and research that can help iSchools around the world prepare a trained workforce who can manage, and facilitate access to, information in specific domains and contexts. It is also argued that cooperation and collaborations among iSchools can promote a culture of sustainable information practices among university graduates and researchers in different disciplines that will pave the way for achieving SDGs in every sector.
