The article, SDG editorial: improving life on planet earth – a call to action for service research to achieve the sustainable development goals (SDGs), can be accessed by .
The seven areas of research include services fostering the HEALTH and HAPPINESS of humanity; services facilitating EQUALITY for everyone; services efficiently handling RESOURCES for all; ECONOMIC services supporting labor and development for all individuals; services provided by FAIR and SUSTAINABLE institutions for human welfare; service ecosystems intertwined with the EARTH; and services promoting COLLABORATION for sustainable development alliances.
In this issue, Rosenbaum also co-authors an article entitled, SDG commentary: economic services for work and growth for all humans. This article addresses United Nations’ sustainable development goals (SDGs) 8 and 9 from a service perspective. SDG 8 is a call to improve the dignity of service work by enhancing wages, working conditions and development opportunities, while SDG 9 calls upon nations to construct resilient infrastructures, promote inclusivity and sustainability and foster innovation.
