About the SDGs
UTS is proud to be one of the first Australian universities to become a signatory to the University Commitment to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) provide a framework for the community and businesses, government and nations to work towards solving the planet’s biggest challenges. Agreed to in 2015 by all countries that make up the United Nations the 17 goals with 169 targets and 232 indicators provide a roadmap to guide and measure progress. Importantly, the SDGs include natural, social, cultural and governance considerations. At their core is peace, justice, equality and sustainability.
