Sustainable Development Goals

Our world is more interconnected than ever. Crises like disease outbreaks, feeding a growing world using limited resources, climate change, race and gender-based violence, economic inequality, access to education, and water insecurity are shining light on the fact that these issues affect many, if not all people, throughout the world.

Collaboration also means speaking the same language when it comes to naming and framing these wicked issues.

With two weeklong observances happening domestically and internationally, Green Career Week and Sustainable Development Goals Action and Awareness Week, the CASNR Global Learning Hub is excited to bring fascinating career perspectives to students.

No country or region is immune to their impacts, which cost the global economy billions of dollars each year and range from the loss of life, livelihoods and biodiversity to water and food insecurity, disruption in the energy, transportation and tourism sectors, as well as forced migration, displacement and conflicts over scarce resources.
