In 2015, building on the Millennium Development Goals introduced in 2000, the United Nations adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, which sets out 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and 169 targets covering the economic, social, and environmental dimensions. With "Leave No One Behind" as their central commitment, the SDGs call on governments, businesses, universities, and civil society to take joint action by 2030.
Our Three Priority SDGs
The Other 14 Goals
SDG 9 encompasses industrial development, innovation, and infrastructure.
CoM has identified SDG 8, SDG 9, and SDG 3 as college-level priority development goals, and its departments, centers, and programs work together toward these goals according to their own areas of expertise. Because each unit's teaching, research, and community engagement may also relate to other SDGs, the table below is not limited to these three goals.
