UCL Beyond Boundaries Session 2: Universities & the SDGs – Full session

Watch the full second session of UCL’s Beyond Boundaries: Realising the UN Sustainable Development Goals, Universities & the SDGs.

In this session, speakers Martha McPherson, Head of Green Economy and Sustainable Growth, UCL; Professor Tristan McCowan, Professor of International Education, UCL; Phil Baty, Chief Knowledge Officer, Times Higher Education (THE); Tanya Dudnikova, UCL Graduate, BA English Literature and French; Professor Duncan Ivison, Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Research) and Professor of Political Philosophy at the University of Sydney; Professor Adriana Allen, Professor of Development Planning and Urban Sustainability & Vice-Dean International, The Bartlett, UCL and Aromar Revi, Director of the Indian Institute for Human Settlements (IIHS) challenge universities to consider whether they should be implementing the SDGs or whether the sector plays a different role. We ask: does the current framework model favour Western institutions, and what does the next generation of students expect from their institutions?

This is a rallying call to the higher education sector to take a deeper look at how, and why, they seek to implement the SDGs and what the benefits will be to the institution, its staff and students, and wider society. It will bring together panellists from around the world to share perspectives and offer provocations.
