New Guide for Post-Secondary Reporting on the SDGs 

The Guide is a collaborative effort between SDSN Canada at the University of Waterloo, Colleges and Institutes Canada, and Universities Canada.

The Sustainable Development Goals set an ambitious global agenda to guide action on the most urgent economic, social, and environmental challenges facing our planet. The COVID-19 pandemic, geopolitical conflicts in Europe and the Middle East, and climate change-induced escalation of wildfire and flooding activity are but a few examples of the continued importance and necessity of working to achieve the SDGs.

Recognizing the important role that universities and colleges play in advancing sustainable development, many have begun to formally document and publish their contributions to the SDGs. But with no standard SDGs reporting approach established, many institutions are navigating the complexities of this reporting in ad hoc ways without easy-to-access tools to learn from the experiences of others.
