The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were adopted in 2015 as a global framework to achieve prosperity for people and the planet by approaching sustainability in a holistic manner. These goals encompass both environmental and social aspects of sustainability and as we approach the 2030 target, the need to evaluate current strategies and align future progress towards the goals becomes an urgent topic of debate. In December of 2020, U of T hosted a 17 SDG Rooms event to discuss, analyze, and innovate new ways to advance U of T’s commitment to the goals.
This panel will introduce U of T’s recent SDG-focused actions adopted since the 17 Rooms event. It will feature an overview of the original event followed by an in-depth exploration of initiatives that include the SDG Institutional Strategic Initiative, UTSC’s very own 17 Rooms event, U of T’s SDG Conceptual Report and Times Higher Education Impact Rankings, and international partnerships for the goals. The panel will finish with a Q&A for members of the audience to discover and connect with a variety of SDG-centred methods U of T has adopted to respond to the imperative change necessitated by the goals and work towards achieving a sustainable future.
