  • SDGs Student Awareness Wake-Day @ University of Ghana (in person event)

    The level of sustainability education and action on climate change in Ghana has been tepid over the past two years, and the advancement of the country's climate commitments is happening at a slow pace. The impending impacts continue to undo many development efforts and deepen poverty levels. Henceforward, the goal of the SDGs Students Awareness Day is to develop an in-depth action plan to ramp up actions in the area of sustainable development both on campus and outside campus. The event includes a Sustainable Development Movie Screening, Dialogue, and a Vision board Creative Action.
