Earth Science for a Sustainable World

The United Nations adopted 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in 2015 as a global call to action to solve humanity’s biggest challenges. Some of these SDGs are supported by the geosciences and are highlighted on this year’s Earth Science Week poster. More information about the SDGs can be found at https://sdgs.un.org/goals. Resources and activities have been collected and developed to engage students with the SDGs, specifically looking at how work in the geosciences supports the SDGs. Each of us can contribute to improving sustainability in our communities and helping achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. You are invited to join in the celebration of Earth Science Week 2022. Learning about and raising awareness of the SDGs can enable explorations of how individuals and communities can work to improve sustainability.
