Would you like to:

• Help drive community action on a range of issues using the world’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as a common language?

• Bring together a cross-section of like-minded people engaged in concrete actions to spot connections and opportunities for progress across efforts?

• Be part of a global network of leaders innovating new ways to generate action, share insight, and foster community for people and planet?

University Global Coalition (UGC) will devote its 2023 Annual Conference (virtual) to furthering plans and actions from universities around the world to support the 17 Sustainable Development Goals, utilizing the 17 Rooms process developed by the Brookings Institution and The Rockefeller Foundation.

During this week, Rooms will meet for a guided discussion focused on a particular SDG, during which they will determine one tangible action or outcome of their collaboration (such as a white paper, webinar, or development of a resource) that can be accomplished by Sustainable Development Goals Action & Awareness Week 2024 (4-8 March 2024). Inspirational keynote sessions will open and close the Annual Gathering, and a report out from all groups will close our time together.

Note that all meetings for the 2023 Annual Gathering 17 Rooms-UGC will be virtual.
