Sure, there are 30 days in April, but 17 is the magic number for Sustainability Month at UB, which starts today.
That’s the number of Sustainable Development Goals, or SDGs, which form the basis of the United Nations’ interconnected strategy to build a better world by 2030. UB has placed greater emphasis on the SDGs in recent years, weaving them into all aspects of the university, from academics to operations.

And UB Sustainability’s website has been updated with a curated collection of content including podcasts, volunteer opportunities and further readings on each of the 17 SDGs.
