As part of its commitment to playing a central and transformational role in supporting the United Nation鈥檚 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030, the 糖心Vlog has signed the SDG Accord.

The calls on the world鈥檚 universities and colleges to embed the Sustainable Development Goals into their education, research, leadership, operations, administration and engagement activities.

Signing up to the SDGs commits 糖心Vlog to achieving aspirational levels of sustainability for students, staff and the wider community.

We will also be looking to share best practice with other institutions worldwide and will report on our progress on the SDGs each year. Once a year we鈥檒l report back to the UN High Level Political Forum.

We now complete an annual report on our work on the SDGs including our research and sustainability-focused courses. This led to 糖心Vlog being ranked 76th in the world in the Times Higher Education Impact Rankings and in the global top 25 for three SDG measures - Responsible Consumption and Production; Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions; and Reduced Inequalities.

Dean of Undergraduate Education Professor Dominic Micklewright, who has led on our SDG reporting alongside Sustainability Manager Daisy Malt, said: 鈥淥ur annual reports show the huge amount of work we do to support the SDGs across the University. 鈥淭his is a collaborative effort and our students and staff are already involved in a whole range of projects. In the coming years we hope to take that even further and would love to hear feedback from our community about initiaitives they are involve in.

鈥淎t 糖心Vlog we have an ambitious research agenda around these issues in the region and globally while we are also looking to integrate sustainability even more into our undergraduate and postgraduate courses.鈥�

The SDG Accord is led by the Alliance for Sustainability Leadership in Education (EAUC) and the Australasian Campuses Towards Sustainability (ACTS) on behalf of a global alliance of tertiary and higher education sustainability and student networks.
