University partnerships to advance the SDGs: local, national, and international examples

Drawing upon experiences from the University of Waterloo – one of Canada’s leading higher education institutions – speakers will discuss the roles that partnerships play in advancing the SDGs.

Examined are entrepreneurial partnerships (GreenHouse), community partnerships (Reep Green Solutions), national partnerships (Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN) Canada), and international partnerships. These examples from different scales will inform a broader discussion about SDG 17 – Partnerships for the Goals.
