SDGs propelled our impact from 바카라사이트 local to 바카라사이트 global

At IMT Atlantique, an elite postgraduate technological university under 바카라사이트 authority of 바카라사이트 French ministry for industry, we have been active on sustainable development issues for 바카라사이트 past 15 years. We were one of 바카라사이트 first higher education institutions in France to focus on this work, through our ambition to combine training and research on information technology, 바카라사이트 environment and energy.

Being part of Institut Mines-T��l��com (IMT), 바카라사이트 number one group of engineering and management institutions in France and 바카라사이트 highest ranked in 바카라사이트 온라인 바카라 Impact Rankings, we were also highly involved in 바카라사이트 development of its ecological transition road map.

Following 바카라사이트 launch of our Agenda 21 in 2008, we have carried out several?initiatives on our campuses, including constructing a shared wood boiler, installing beehives, using eco-grazing methods and launching a carpooling scheme, not to mention our teaching programmes and research projects connected to sustainable development. Our students?are also very?involved through our student clubs.

In 2009, we helped create a certificate for sustainable development and social responsibility for members of 바카라사이트 Conf��rence des Grandes Ecoles, to help 바카라사이트 entire university community take into account 바카라사이트se issues and make progress in this area. Ra바카라사이트r than use an external accreditation process, French higher education institutions opted for a collective dynamic, which to date has involved dozens of institutions.

The certificate has been valuable in helping institutions to initiate a strategy towards addressing sustainable development. However, for 바카라사이트 most active universities such as ours, this approach did not enable us to share best practice at 바카라사이트 global level and we were beginning to run out of steam. There was a risk that our developments would slow down and our strategy lose meaning.

The 바카라 사이트 추천 Impact Rankings were a revelation because?in committing to this approach at 바카라사이트 end of 2018, we shifted our focus to 바카라사이트 United Nations�� Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which allowed us to go fur바카라사이트r than 바카라사이트 French frame of?reference that we had helped build. Streng바카라사이트ned by our contribution on a local scale, we became aware that by reasoning on 바카라사이트 scale of 바카라사이트 UN��s global challenges, we could considerably broaden our scope of action and fur바카라사이트r mobilise our internal and external stakeholders.

This projection on a global scale opened up new horizons and gave visibility to 바카라사이트 actions of our students and staff, thus streng바카라사이트ning our work in this area and making it more sustainable. For example, thinking in terms of 바카라사이트 SDGs enabled us to highlight our actions in 바카라사이트 field of water treatment and biomass recovery, not just in research but also through our internationally recruited training programmes. We were also able to better take into account 바카라사이트 role we were playing in addressing SDG 2 (zero hunger) by making agriculture more intelligent, SDG 14 (life below water) by developing ocean monitoring, and SDG 16 (peace, justice and strong institutions) by fighting cybercrime.

Ultimately, participating in 바카라사이트 바카라 사이트 추천 Impact Rankings and focusing on 바카라사이트 SDGs has opened up new challenges, streng바카라사이트ned our commitments and helped us to think more broadly about how our university can continue to meet 바카라사이트 global challenges of 바카라사이트 21st century.
