Durham University has featured as a case study in the annual SDG Accord Report at the UN High-Level Political Forum on Sustainable Development. This featured the work that Dr Petra Minnerop, Associate Professor of International Law at the Durham Law School, has been leading on in coordinating our COP activities, engagement with UNFCCC, establishing a research centre in the Law School, amongst others.
The SDG Accord is a high-profile international initiative that the Global Alliance through EAUC developed to allow the tertiary education sector to demonstrate its commitment to playing its part in meeting the SDGs and sharing best practice. This partnership initiative is endorsed by the UN and many other global partners, which launched at the end of 2017. The SDG Accord provides a platform to come together in a movement, to inspire, celebrate and advance the critical role that education has in delivering the SDGs. It presents this aggregated effort in coherent Annual Reports for use by the UN, governments, businesses and wider society. While the sustainability journey of each institution will reflect its unique context, connecting them through the SDG Accord offers the opportunity for scaling of impact.
