SDG Unit

What if we could create a much more just, sustainable and healthy world by 2030? What does that world look like, and what steps do we need to take as individuals, communities and nations to get there? The United Nation (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a roadmap. The SDGs consist of 17 ambitious targets for reducing suffering and promoting the health of humans, animals and the environment.

The SDG Unit is a new package of learning resources by Be the Change Earth Alliance that helps middle & high school teachers engage their students in meaningful learning and action around the SDGs. The SDG Unit is found within our library of online learning resources, Student Leadership for Change. Registration for SLC is free for all BC teachers, providing you access to the SDG Unit and a host of other climate, environmental and social justice teaching materials!
