Sustainable UFV

UFV and the 17 SDGs

The University of the Fraser Valley has recently become a signatory of the SDG Accord, solidifying its alignment with the United Nation's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).  The SDGs serve as a call to action to promote prosperity while protecting the planet. 

UFV is in an excellent position to contribute to achieving these goals because of the existing knowledge, research, and innovative thinking that is foundational to higher education. As such, UFV is working to contribute to economic, social, and environmental sustainability. Through such engagement, UFV embraces the SDGs as one means to understand as well as gauge our impact.
