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: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:Closing Re-Cap on Sustainability Literacy: A Global Challenge for Higher Education Institutions
DESCRIPTION:In this closing event of UGC Action & Awareness Week\, Aurélien Decamps\, Sulitest‘s co-founder and faculty at Kedge Business School\, will present the results of the UGC Sulitest submissions during SDG Action & Awareness Week. Sulitest will be open to UGC member organizations until 14 March 2021. See the Resources tab under SDG Action & Awareness Week for instructions. \nEvent Organizers: \nUniversidad Carlos III de Madrid \nSUNY (the State University of New York) \n— \nAbout Sulitest: \nSulitest is an international organization devoted to promote sustainability literacy\, that is\, the knowledge\, skills and mindsets that allow individuals to become deeply committed to build a sustainable future and that help them to make informed and effective decisions to this end. In 2016\, Sulitest was recognized as one of the first featured initiatives of the UN Partnerships for SDGs\, contributing to the second UNESCO Global Education Monitoring Report and to the review of the 2030 Agenda through the High-level Political Forum (HLPF). It also holds an observer status to the UN Environment Assembly and a Special consultative status with the Economic and Social Council since 2019. \nSulitest offers a variety of engagement and assessment tools that are aligned with the SDGs. To date\, almost 190\,000 people have taken Sulitest’s bestknown tool – the international Test\, offering the first global database on sustainability awareness. Yearly\, Sulitest publishes its Raising & Mapping Awareness of the Global Goals report at the UN HLPF\, highlighting trends from this database. The most recent awareness test conducted with a global sample of university students\, staff and faculty\, shows that the level of awareness about the goals is far from complete\, ranging between 44% and 65% for individual SDGs. At the same time\, the observed heterogeneity has remained constant over time. The results highlight the urgent need for the development of education and initiatives to raise awareness both of SDGS in general and of specific SDGs. \nTO JOIN THE EVENT: http://bit.ly/SDGSulitest
