Sustainable Development Goals
ACIC Commitment to the SDGs
In 2015, the UN adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development Goals in an effort to ensure worldwide action for eradicating global problems and creating a more sustainable world.
ACIC is continually working on promoting the SDGs and encouraging Atlantic Canadians to be active global citizens to build and model just, equitable and sustainable communities, locally and globally.
Through the Spring of 2019, we spoke with 70 youth and 43 youth-serving professionals in roundtables and 1-on-1 interviews across the Atlantic provinces. This work led to the release of Your Voice Matters: Engaging Atlantic Canadian Youth on the Sustainable Development Goals, a report whose research was conducted in order to better understand how to get youth engaged and interested in Agenda 2030, or the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Read the report here.
We also have many youth programs that includes the SDGs into the conversation in efforts to encourage youth to be active global citizens. Check out all of ACIC’s Youth programming!
