Book excerpt: The United Nations 2030 Agenda has defined 17 goals to promote sustainable development on a global scale; it's based on five critical dimensions, known as the 5Ps: people, prosperity, planet, partnership, and peace. Many of the goals can be connected to psychology or educational sciences, for example improving health and well-being (SDG3), ensuring quality education (SDG4), promoting gender equality (SDG5) and decent work (SDG8), and reducing inequality (SDG10). This means that researchers in the field of psychology or related sciences can give substantial contributions to support the achievement of the goals of Agenda 2030. Research on the contribution of psychology and educational sciences in achieving these goals should be encouraged.
