Finally, Bridges readers will be familiar with the UN's SDG (Sustainable Development Goals) Book Club. It is exciting to report, then, that in at the start of the Frankfurt Book Fair in October 2020, publishers from around the world signed the Sustainable Development Goals Publishers Compact. Per the International Publishers Assoication: 
The SDG Publishers Compact is a voluntary commitment that recognizes the responsibility of the publishing industry to create a sustainable future through action. Signatories aspire to develop sustainable practices and act as champions of the SDGs during the Decade of Action (2020-2030), publishing books and journals that will help inform, develop and inspire action in that direction. This compact follows other compacts for the Media sector and businesses in general. ​​
