This series aims to highlight current research which engages with global challenges seen through the UN Sustainable Development Goals. As an entity, the Global Challenges agenda is a complex and multifaceted development that is interpreted and understood in different ways. Issues of sustainability outlined in the UN SDGs address a number of environmental issues which are aligned closely with cultural and social issues, such as social inclusion and rights to social resources. 

In some instances, it is difficult for the social and archaeological sciences to raise their profile in contributing to the global challenges agenda particularly with STEM subjects receiving more support and funding. However, we have seen a wealth of archaeological research and knowledge applied theoretically and in practice to address many of the goals outlined in global challenges. These ten presentations highlight ways in which archaeological and heritage research, skills and practice contribute towards sustainable development, and how in many instances have always been addressing sustainable issues through its connection and understanding of past landscapes in the present, past narratives in the present, and past cultures in the present.
