This year marks the half-way point of the SDGs mandate to 2030. Unfortunately, no country in the world is on track to achieve them completely, with Canada ranking 29th in the world on SDGs implementation. The 2023 conference theme will focus on how we can accelerate Canada’s SDGs progress and what needs to be done differently to achieve them.

Integral to Canada’s economic and social prosperity is inclusive and equitable quality education that promotes lifelong learning opportunities for all Canadians.

The key objective of this session is to explore the role of the SDGs in teaching and learning while showcasing strategies to accelerate progress on SDG 4 across Canada.
