The SDGs, The University & You

A better future for all is possible. The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs) are an attempt to plot a course toward that better future. Countries, institutions, even individuals can contribute to these goals through policies, programs, initiatives, and everyday actions. And while these goals are arranged under 17 headings, there is a recognition that the best outcomes are achieved when we work together to address multiple interconnected goals.  This week, the Sustainability Office will provide a snapshot of all 17 SDGs, showcasing the work that the University of Waterloo and individuals have done and can continue to do to support these goals.
