Institutional Stewardship Initiatives
Together Alberta
The Alberta Council for Global Cooperation (ACGC) champions the Sustainable Development Goals in Alberta. In 2019, to understand the ecosystem of organizations and individuals advancing the goals, they launched the project Together Alberta: Mapping Alberta’s Contributions to the Sustainable Development Goals. The University of Alberta supported this project and continues to participate in ACGC’s efforts to raise the goals’ profile in Alberta.
SDG Student Alliance
The University of Alberta’s Sustainable Development Goals Student Alliance (SDGSA) is a student group dedicated to education and advocacy for the SDGs. They host events throughout the year including tabling sessions, workshops, climate cafés and more! In addition to their work on campus, they have led multiple community workshops with school-aged children, hoping to teach kids about sustainability and the world around them.
