Webinar: University SDG Reports: What is (current) best practice?
Additional information: Links shared during the webinar
Join us for a conversation with leading global experts as they share their insights and learnings on what is best practice for reporting university contributions to the SDGs.
A growing number of universities around the world have started, or are looking into, capturing and publishing their contributions to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in stand-alone SDG Reports, in Annual Sustainability Reports, or Voluntary University Reports. But with universities able to contribute in many different ways to the SDGs through their research, education, operations, and community leadership and engagement, and with no single global standard on university SDG reporting, many are confronting the complex tasks of defining what these reports should cover and how to collect the information.
In this webinar we are excited to bring together some of the leading experts on university SDG reports from around the world, who will share their experiences, learnings and recommendations. We hope this will help newcomers get started, and help identify and encourage more consistent good practices in SDG reporting across the sector.

- Dr Renzo Mori Jr, Senior Advisor for Sustainable Development – RMIT University SDG Impact Report
