Canada committed to the United Nation Sustainability Development Goals (SDGs) in 2015. These 17 goals aim to “achieve peace and prosperity for people and the planet.” This is an important, yet challenging, undertaking.

The goals aim to establish a “global partership” to address the pressing issues of our time. Some of these issues include reducing inequalities, promoting quality education, addressing climate change and protecting biodiversity.
