Sustainable Development Goals 2021
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 are an urgent call for action by all countries - developed and developing - in a global partnership. They 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.
When the University adopted its Ten Point Plan for Climate Action in 2020 it undertook to report against the SDGs, and indications of activity against the seventeen SDGs, drawn from other University reports, are to be found here, and will be updated annually.
