CWA principal David Pomfret has just signed the SDG Accord on behalf of CWA. The SDC Accord is the university and college sector’s collective response to the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The Sustainable Development Goals are a collection of 17 global goals set by the United Nations. The Goals cover a broad range of social, economic and environmental development issues, including poverty, hunger, health, education, climate change, gender equality, water, sanitation, energy, environment and social justice. There are 169 targets to achieve by 2030 and they were developed to replace the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), which ended in 2015. The purpose of the SDG Accord is to inspire, celebrate and advance the critical role that education has in delivering the SDGs and the value it brings to governments, business and wider society. The SDG Accord is a commitment learning institutions are making to one another to do more to deliver the goals, to annually report on each signatory's progress, and to do so in ways which share the learning with each other both nationally and internationally. An objective is that sector SDG reporting metrics will be presented at the annual UN High Level Political Forum.
