Partnership and the UN SDGs

The United Nations with unanimous support from all member nations proposed an Agenda in 2015 of 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) with a target completion of 2030.  These SDGs, each have targets and measurable indicators to indicate performance effectiveness against the goals.  The 17 SDGs can be viewed as a framework of goals to address the needs of 5 P’s – People, Planet, Prosperity, Peace and Partnership.

The need for Partnership on earth can be viewed through SDG 17 – Partnership for the Goals.

Student teams across 7 institutions studied business innovations sourced from the AIM2Flourish platform (in itself, an appreciative inquiry activity that gathered business innovations and created linkages to SDGs). However for this specific SDG, we gathered the reflections of the instructors from the institutions participating in the activity.   These reflections summarize how all 7 institutions, the instructors, and the students that they supervised worked together to achieve the aims of SDG 17.
