Virtual Reality and the SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals)

Virtual Reality and the SDG

(Sustainable Development Goals)

Virtual reality can contribute to the fulfillment of any of the SDGs through awareness, empathy, sensitization and training.

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were adopted by the United Nations in 2015 as a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure that by 2030 all people enjoy peace and prosperity.

For countries to achieve the SDGs in all contexts, the UN has said that they need to make use of resources such as finance, knowledge, creativity and technology.

And this is where virtual reality and its immersive scenarios have become the most important technological resource to stimulate unlimited creativity and facilitate knowledge through experience.

At Virtual4 we create virtual reality projects aligned with the SDGs: VR for education, VR for good, awareness, training in any field, health and well-being, employment and economic growth, among others.
