SDSN Canada is currently looking for a University of Waterloo student leader to lead and coordinate all its SDSN Youth activities throughout Canada.
As part of the United Nations ‘Decade of Action’ for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), SDSN Canada is seeking Expression of Interest from its members to develop research that addresses the economic, social, and/or environmental responses to COVID-19 that will lead to achieving one or more of the SDGs in Canada.
With the COVID-19 pandemic causing historic disruptions to the world’s economic and social systems, we look to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for guidance on how to "build back better". With this in mind, SDSN Canada is issuing a challenge to its network members to accelerate progress on the SDGs in Canada. We encourage all members to take on one or more of the listed challenges or adopt their own initiative to best suit their context.
And more opportunities, resources and news on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in Canad

The start of 2020 marked the beginning of a decade of action to deliver on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Ironically, it also marked the beginning of a global crisis that would transform the methods, magnitude and speed of action to achieve them. Among many others, universities have already taken their place at the frontline of this transformation. Across the world, universities have been an all-of-society melting pot for research, innovation, advisory, and development. This gives them the ability to lead massive change for the SDGs and support other entities in society to do the same. To recognize and measure the impact of universities on advancing the SDGs, The Times Higher Education created the Global University Impact Rankings that capture progress made by universities to date and identify opportunities for future action.
We are excited to extend a warm welcome to our newest network members!
