In 2015, United Nations Member States adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, which is framed around 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The UN describes these goals as “an urgent call for action by all countries,” emphasizing the importance of global partnerships.
Each of the 17 SDGs has implications for higher education.
This BERA/UN Impact Hub podcast explores students' perspectives on engaging with and addressing Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) within higher education settings. The podcast is led by Dr Liliana Belkin of the University of Roehampton and Dr Chiying Lam of the University of Southampton.
