Small Changes, Big Impact: Setting Attainable Sustainability Goals

Monday, October 21, 2024
1:30 PM – 2:20 PM PDT
Location: Garden 2
Presentation Description: We invite you to learn more about the United Nation's Sustainable Development Goals and the many ways in which they intersect with our work in education abroad. In addition to raising awareness about sustainability, we will also share ways we can successfully incorporate sustainable practices into our lives, both on a personal and professional level. Participants are encouraged to share challenges and opportunities as we discuss what sustainability looks like at different institutions/organizations.

Learning Objectives:

  • Attendees will come away with an understanding of what the UN Sustainable Development Goals are and how they intersect with education abroad.
  • Attendees will receive several examples of SMART sustainability goals that they can use or adapt.
  • Attendees will be empowered with sustainability-related information and resources that they can share with stakeholders (faculty, students, etc.) at their institution/organization.
