The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
At NUI Galway we recognise the critical role that universities must play in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We recognise that the SDGs are the blueprint for a sustainable future and we are committed to the SDGs at an institutional level. Delivering sustainable development is central to our new strategic plan; Shared Vision, Shaped by Values. The Plan presents sustainability as one of four pillars with ten associated Flagship Action across the university mission. NUI Galway has signed the SDG Accord, demonstrating our commitment at an institutional level to embed the SDGs into our education, research, leadership, operations, administration and engagement activities. We affirm our ambitions in sustainability through our NUI Galway Sustainability Strategy. Using our Learn-Live-Lead model we are addressing sustainability from environmental, social and economic perspectives. We demonstrate leadership in the achievement of the SDGs by promoting sustainability scholarship, social justice, human rights and global citizenship as graduate and staff attributes; by embedding sustainability in operations and investments and by building sustainable partnerships with communities. An overall analysis of NUI Galway’s research output aligned to the UN SDGs between 2015 and 2020 was carried out by the Planning & Institutional Research Office in September 2020
