Useful Links: SDG Accord

The purpose of the SDG Accord is twofold:

First it is to inspire, celebrate and advance the critical role that education has in delivering the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the value the interlinked objectives brings to governments, business and wider society.

Second, the Accord is a commitment made by learning institutions to one another, to do more to deliver the SDGs, annually report on individual progress as a Signatory, and do so in ways which share the learning with each other both nationally and internationally. Objectives include annually presenting the updated Accord metrics at the UN High Level Political Forum on Sustainable Development.

Who should sign the SDG Accord?

The Accord can be signed by:

1. Tertiary Education Institutions (universities, colleges, TVET centres and adult education providers) who commit to embedding the Sustainable Development Goals as a whole institution. This must be signed by the highest authority such as Vice Chancellor, Principal, President etc.
2. Related university and college support organisations who commit to supporting their networks and members to embed the Sustainable Development Goals.
