Coventry University and the Sustainable Development Goals
Universities around the world play a critical role in delivering the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and in developing the ideas and technologies required to embed sustainability within government, business and wider society, while leading by example in the way they teach, do research and manage their estates.
Coventry University is committed to this, and signed the University and College Sector’s SDG Accord in early 2018. The SDG Accord calls upon us to embed the Sustainable Development Goals into our education, research, leadership, operations, administration and engagement activities.
In additional, University students, academics and staff can pledge their support for the SDG Accord. Go here to sign.
