I hear there were ecstatic scenes in New York with much whooping 'n' hollering when EAUC's finest presented their SDG Accord to last week's UN Low Level Political Forum (LLPF). \u00a0UN spokesperson, Prof Dr Dr Fatima O'Gui-Gbahou, said the following in zir opening welcome:<\/p>\n
\"The SDG Accord is awfully spiffing \u2013 it has over 600 signatories, including 64 institutions that represent 1.3 million students and nearly 100 global education sector networks representing 6000 institutions.\"<\/p>\n
The EAUC report, \u2018Global universities, colleges and students leading delivery of the UN Sustainable Development Goals\u2019, calls on the UN to better promote the role of higher and further education in all of the SDGs rather than only Goal 4, and on senior management in universities and colleges to look for innovative ways to increase staff and student capacity to address the SDGs. \u00a0You can read it here<\/a>.\"<\/p>\n Of course, many think that it\u2019s more likely that staff and students will need to encourage management to take the goals seriously.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I hear there were ecstatic scenes in New York with much whooping 'n' hollering when EAUC's finest presented their SDG Accord to last week's UN Low Level Political Forum (LLPF). \u00a0UN spokesperson, Prof Dr Dr Fatima O'Gui-Gbahou, said the following...<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":237,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[2,4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7284","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-comment","category-news-and-updates"],"acf":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack-related-posts":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.bath.ac.uk\/edswahs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7284","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.bath.ac.uk\/edswahs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.bath.ac.uk\/edswahs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.bath.ac.uk\/edswahs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/237"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.bath.ac.uk\/edswahs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7284"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.bath.ac.uk\/edswahs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7284\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.bath.ac.uk\/edswahs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7284"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.bath.ac.uk\/edswahs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7284"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.bath.ac.uk\/edswahs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7284"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
