Sustainable Development Goals

The Agenda 2030 is the result of the joint work of governments and citizens around the world to create a new global model for ending poverty, promoting prosperity and well-being for all, protecting the environment and combating climate change, and integrates 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), to be implemented by all countries and covering such diverse but interlinked areas as: equitable access to quality education and health services; the creation of decent employment; energy and environmental sustainability; conservation and management of the oceans; the promotion of effective institutions and stable societies; and the fight against inequality at all levels.

UTAD Commitments

UTAD intends to actively contribute to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals of the 2030 Agenda, so we have taken the option of aligning the latest Strategic Programs with the 2030 Agenda. In the framework of the values underlying this Plan, we assume the centrality and value of people and their participation, the importance of equality and inclusion, and the promotion of the sustainability of the Planet. On the other hand, we affirm ourselves as an institution that thinks globally and acts locally and globally, engaged in reflection and action for a more prosperous and sustainable world, with a culture of social responsibility and networking, focused on quality and with an international vision, in interaction with the scientific, business and political worlds, and with the society in general.

Therefore, in its Annual Planning, UTAD makes an effort to align its activities with the principles of sustainability reflected in the 17 Goals recommended by Agenda 2030, as a way of seeking to mobilize the efforts of the academy through a set of objectives and global goals.
