Goals of the Course | | | This course introduces students to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the core framework of the current UN Development Agenda. It will begin with a review of how the global development agenda has evolved over time, culminating in the adoption of the SDGs. With less than five years remaining until the 2025 target year, the course will examine the latest progress toward achieving the goals and considers how unforeseen global events have hindered advancement. Students will explore how both the public and private sectors integrate the SDGs into their own strategies. Drawing on the knowledge gained throughout the course, students will work in groups to formulate policy approaches to advance an SDG agenda of their choice. |
