About
The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015, provides a shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet, now and into the future.
At its heart are the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which recognize that ending poverty and other deprivations must go hand in hand with strategies that improve health and education, reduce inequality, and spur economic growth – all while tackling climate change and working to preserve our oceans and forests.
It is the combined responsibility of government, businesses and organizations to each do their part in promoting and realizing these goals.
Academia
Academia has a crucial role in advancing the SDGs due to the vast impact of academic institutions within society. Institutes of higher education are uniquely positioned to advance sustainability through research, teaching and learning as well as operating practices. The influence of academia is far reaching, and contributions can be made to advance all 17 of the SDGs.
