The Sustainability Hub at UBC, Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN) Canada, and Colleges and Institutes Canada invite you to join a nation-wide collaboration to advance the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Events are organized independently by participating campuses, and are meant to draw on diverse disciplinary perspectives to unpack challenges and solutions related to the SDGs.
