SUMMARY:SDG 4.7: The Path towards Quality Education
DESCRIPTION:This discussion\, hosted by the Global Challenges University Alliance (GCUA 2030)\, will address the pivotal role of higher education institutions in providing all students not only with the knowledge they need in order to contribute to the implementation of Agenda 2030\, but also with the skills and competencies necessary to make a meaningful contribution to future societies. Using target 4.7 as a starting point\, presenters will highlight concrete examples from GCUA 2030 institutions\, a global network of partners with a common vision of contributing to sustainable\, global development. \nPresenters: \nNatalie Jellinek\, Educational Developer\, Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (Sweden); \nTom Gill\, Associate Professor & Chair\, Smith Center for International Agriculture\, University of Tennessee (USA); \nMelanie Miller Foster\, Assistant Professor\, International Programs\, College of Agricultural Sciences\, The Pennsylvania State University (USA) \nDavid Ader\, Research Assistant Professor\, Smith Center for International Sustainable Agriculture\, University of Tennessee (USA) \nREGISTRATION REQUIRED: CLICK THE LINK BELOW TO REGISTER: \nhttps://internt.slu.se/en/calendar-originals/2021/3/sdg-awareness-week/ \n

SUMMARY:Climate Change and the Design of the Built Environment
DESCRIPTION:The Georgia Institute of Technology Kendeda Building for Innovative Sustainable Design Conference: Climate Change and the Design of the Built Environment: Enterprising Approaches for Industry\, Government\, and Community. \nConference Hosts: Michael Gamble\, Shan Arora\, and Kim Cobb\, along with the Kendeda Living Building Advisory Board \nThe symposium will be held virtually on March 4\, 2021 from 9:00 – 17:00 Eastern Standard Time. \nFREE REGISTRATION REQUIRED AT: https://arch.gatech.edu/climate_change_symposium_rsvp \n  \n\nAbout the Symposium\n\n\n\n\nEarth’s climate is changing now faster than any other period in the history of modern civilization; this acceleration is primarily a result of human activities. Global climate change has already resulted in a wide range of impacts across every region of the country\, and as we have seen throughout 2020\, new approaches are needed to combat pathogen transmission and create next level healthy places. Many sectors of the economy are expected to grow related to climate and health in the coming decades. \nConsequently\, the design and retrofit of buildings\, infrastructure\, and cities will be a major part of future efforts.  The design and responsiveness of the built environment is the basis for inviting leading thinkers in the field of climate and sustainability research to help foster creativity\, invention and entrepreneurship amongst participants with three primary goals: \n\nDevelop a baseline understanding of the current impacts and opportunities that the design\, development\, and responsiveness of the built environment has on climate change\, and climate change has on the built environment.\nIncrease understanding of the different communities and stakeholders that are involved in climate change debates via immersion in prescient topics formed around the design of the built environment: ethics\, economics\, health\, equity\, value\, etc.\nCreate valuable dialogue that assists industry\, government and academic leaders in understanding their role in how new environments\, especially the social and habitable\, can be reinvented in relation to emerging sustainability goals.

SUMMARY:Engaging Students on Sharing SDG Best Practices at Their Universities: An Interactive Workshop with the SDG Dashboard
DESCRIPTION:Launched in 2017\, the SDG Dashboard is a collaborative visualization tool and analytical platform that shares data about how institutions are addressing SDGs in their practices and outcomes. This interactive workshop will guide participants through the SDG Dashboard creation process.  In addition to discussing the importance of the SDGs and data-sharing around the SDGs\, we will walk through the initial data entry using a shared\, open-source data sheet that all participants can engage with live with hands-on guidance from our team. During this activity\, the participants will be taught the core fundamentals of our SDG Dashboard building process we use on our Higher Education SDG Dashboards around the world. The end result is a collaborative\, diverse\, data visualization SDG Dashboard that we will provide every member access at the end of the workshop. The workshop will cover: \n• What each of the 17 SDGs mean\n• The importance of the SDGs in society\n• How to properly assess and classify the SDGs in terms of academia’s main impact areas\n• The applications of Business Intelligence software on raising awareness and knowledge on the SDGs (Tableau)\n• The importance of our youth and the impact they can have on the SDGs \nPresenters: \nDr. David Steingard\, Ph.D\, Director\, SDG Dashboard Team \nFrancis Grey\, Graduate student\, SDG Dashboard Team \nGrant DeClement\, Graduate student\, SDG Dashboard Team \nKara McLaughlin\, Undergraduate student\, SDG Dashboard Team \nRachel Butler\, Undergraduate student\, SDG Dashboard Team \nAlay “AJ” Jani\, Undergraduate student\, SDG Dashboard Team \n  \nTO JOIN THE EVENT: https://sju.zoom.us/j/94189354089?pwd=MitPTVQwalA4WVAzcWw4NE5NZFduQT09

SUMMARY:Action on the SDGs: Nebraska's Local Work towards Global Goals
DESCRIPTION:While not everyone is thinking actively about how they are advancing the UN Sustainable Development Goals every day when they do their work\, many individuals across the University of Nebraska community are doing so. We’ll hear from students advancing the SDGs in their work with their peers\, administrators\, and the campus at large; how the goals are being advanced in the Lincoln community *and* the classroom (sometimes at the same time); and about cutting edge research happening both in Nebraska and with collaborators around the world. Ultimately\, it’s important to frame our work within the larger challenges of the SDGs and galvanize everyone in the community\, no matter their position\, to take action towards these goals\, too. \nPresenters: \nDr. Yulie Meneses\, Research Assistant Professor & Water for Food Processing Specialist\, Department of Food Science & Technology\, University of Nebraska-Lincoln\nDr. Michael Shambaugh-Miller\, Executive Director & Founder\, Produce from the Heart; and Lecturer\, Geography\, School of Global Integrative Studies\, University of Nebraska-Lincoln\nKathryn Woerner\, University of Nebraska-Lincoln environmental studies and natural resource economics major\, Programming Director for the Student Organic Farm & ASUN Senator\nModerator: Brianne Wolf\, Global Programs & Outreach Manager\, Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources\, University of Nebraska-Lincoln \nTO JOIN THE EVENT: https://go.unl.edu/sdgs

SUMMARY:Traveling Sustainably After the “Pause”
DESCRIPTION:This session will explore strategies that can be used to reduce carbon footprints in relation to international travel. Drawing on sustainable practices that can be implemented from the individual level all the way up to the institutional level\, we hope to identify some concrete ways that international travelers are already reducing their footprint and hope to continue to reduce in the future. With the current “pause” in international travel\, there is no greater time to rethink policies\, processes\, and strategies to better align with the values of the UN SDGs. \nPresenters: \nTom Carter – Director of International Education – SUNY ESF \nHugh Anderson – Senior Study Abroad Advisor – SUNY Cortland \nTO JOIN EVENT: https://syracuseuniversity.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJElde2gpjsjEtO4ymOtYqYJCLOndUazWR15

SUMMARY:Strengthening the Corps: Advancing Food System Sustainability through Peace Corps\, AmeriCorps\, and FoodCorps
DESCRIPTION:The “Strengthening the Corps: Advancing food system sustainability through Peace Corps\, AmeriCorps\, and FoodCorps” panel will be a high-energy\, engaging event that provides participants with first-hand insight into the service corps. Volunteers from Peace Corps\, AmeriCorps\, and FoodCorps will share information about their service experiences and answer questions that participants have. The panelists will discuss the strengths and skills that prepared them for their terms of service\, as well as the experiences and abilities that they gained as a result of their work. The discussion will primarily focus on the food and agricultural sector and how the panelists’ work addressed problems within the food system. People who are interested in the work being done to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals or are interested in becoming volunteers will benefit from attending this event.
